REX PICKETT is a screenwriter and novelist living in Santa Monica, California. His latest novel, Vertical, is a follow-up to his best-known work and debut novel, Sideways. Sideways was made into a critically acclaimed film in 2004 starring Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church.
Review:
''Better, richer than Sideways.'' --Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
''Rex Pickett shows that his gift for creating wildly funny scenes is quite intact . . . The book is laugh-out-loud funny.'' --New York Journal of Books
''Had me alternately laughing and crying through this hilarious, heartbreaking, and ultimately moving meditation on fame, friendship, and family. Vertical managed to break my heart and then put it back together again, piece by piece . . . and should abolish any lingering doubts whether the author just got 'lucky' with Sideways. This is a work to be both admired and savored like the great Willamette Valley Pinots Miles exults over.'' --Forth magazine
''Vertical is an often over-the-top, sometimes poignant, always entertaining story peppered throughout with impenetrably obscure but colorfully descriptive and eminently accurate adjectives . . . What happens on the trip north through California accounts for much of the hilarious, ludicrous, and outrageous action . . . Rex Pickett has not let us down.'' --Oregon Wine Press
