The Big Bad Book of Bill Murray: A Critical Appreciation of the World's Finest Actor

The New York Times Best Seller.

The man. The movies. The life. The legend. He€s played a deranged groundskeeper, a bellowing lounge singer, a paranormal exterminator, and a grouchy weatherman. He is William James €œBill€ Murray, America€s greatest national treasure. From his childhood lugging golf bags at a country club to his first taste of success on Saturday Night Live, from his starring roles in Hollywood blockbusters to his reinvention as a hipster icon for the twenty-first century, The Big Bad Book of Bill Murray chronicles every aspect of his extraordinary life and career.

He€s the sort of actor who can do Hamlet and Charlie€s Angels in the same year. He shuns managers and agents, and he once agreed to voice the lead in Garfield because he mistakenly believed it was a Coen Brothers film. He€s famous for crashing house parties all over New York City€"and if he keeps photobombing random strangers, he might just break the Internet.

Part biography, part critical appreciation, part love letter, and all fun, this enormous full-color volume, packed with color film stills and behind-the-scenes photography, chronicles every Murray performance in loving detail, recounting all the milestones, legendary €œMurray stories,€ and controversies in the life of this enigmatic performer.
