The Book of the Film of the Story of My Life

- The Book of the Film... was originally published in New Zealand and in the UK, winning widespread acclaim from publications including the London Observer, Time Out London, and New Zealand Herald, among others.

- Born in London and raised in New Zealand, William Brandt is the handsome, charismatic writer and actor best known for his role in the 1991 film An Angel at my Table. In 1999, his collection of short stories, Alpha Male (Paul & Co., 1999), won the Montana NZ Book Award for the Best First Book of Fiction.

- As in Nick Homby's national bestselling novels High Fidelity and About a Boy, both of which became major feature films, Brandt delves into the mind and mystery of the modern adult male with humor and honesty.

- This novel is set in New Zealand, a location gaining focus from The Lord of the Rings films and named the top vacation destination of 2002 by Lonely Planet.
