Introduction -- The ten principles of Bill -- The films of Bill Murray.

"Actor Bill Murray's adventures off-screen rival his filmography for sheer entertainment value. Gavin Edwards traveled to the places where Murray has lived, worked, and partied, in search of Bill Murray stories from the past four decades. Bill once paid a child five dollars to ride his bike into a swimming pool. The star convinced Harvard's JV women's basketball team to play with him in a private game of hoops. Many of these surreal encounters ended with Bill whispering, 'no one will ever believe you' into a stranger's ear. But this is more than a collection of wacky anecdotes. The author puts the actor's public clowning into a larger context, distilling Murray's unique way of being into a set of guiding principles. A mix of comedy and philosophy, full of photo bombs, late-night party crashes, and movie-set antics, this is the perfect book for any Bill Murray fan--which is to say, everyone"--Provided by publisher.
