Quentin Tarantino's literary debut is at once refined and brutal, hilariously funny and full of surprises (sometimes frightening!), based on the Oscar-winning film of the same name.

The new edition of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is supplemented with the script for the TV series starring Rick Dalton, a comic about his adventures with Cliff Booth, and other heartwarming and eye-catching materials from the Tarantino universe. 'You don't expect anything good from a novelization of a beloved film—even if the director himself wrote it.

'Fortunately, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood defies negative expectations. This isn't exactly a novelization, or even a director's cut written down on paper (though it contains many details and stories that didn't make it into the film), but truly Quentin Tarantino's first novel—a wonderful book designed for those who, in the words of Jean-Luc Godard, loved cinema before they loved women, guns, or money. And yes, if you've seen Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, get ready—Tarantino will surprise you again: the touching ending has nothing in common with the ending of the film.' — Sergey Kuznetsov, writer

'You can escape into this book, like into the Harry Potter series. Especially if you love cinema.' — Kirill Sokolov, director

'Classic, sparkling Tarantino... Explosive dialogue, combining formal register and street slang, looks almost as effective on paper as on screen.' — The Washington Post
