BASED ON THE MOVIE
Coming August 5th, 2008 from Atria Books

Movie madness mixes with mid-life crisis in Billy Taylor's hilarious new novel as a recovering dolly grip battles egos, absurdity, and a soon-to-be-ex-wife, all to keep a really lousy movie from falling to pieces.

"Reel life meets real life in Taylor's fast and funny debut." --Publishers Weekly

"Dripping with acid wit and authenticity, Based on the Movie is an outrageously funny and deeply sympathetic novel about the broken-hearted dreamers and misfits who populate the lower echelons of the filmmaking world."
--Jonathan Tropper, author of The Book of Joe and How to Talk to a Widower

"Based on the Movie is the real deal -- one of the funniest and most entertaining novels I have read in a long time. Billy Taylor has written that rarest of books, one that is not only a hilarious, biting satire, but also an absorbing and emotionally satisfying work of fiction."
--David Liss author of The Coffee Trader and The Whiskey Rebels
