Do you have a favorite author? A favorite book?
Well, my favorite author is Mark Twain. He's smart, and funny. Huckleberry Finn,
especially the chapter all the purists hate, in which Tom Sawyer stages an elaborate
rescue of Jim, is a writer having as much fun as possible. But my favorite book is a
two-parter by Laurens Van Der Post, "A Story Like The Wind" and "A Far Off
Place. My favorite book used to be The Plague by Albert Camus.
What inspired you to write Cinderella Story?
The chance at literary immortality, I guess.
Besides golf, what else in your life are you passionate about?
Passion
Have you always wanted to be a comedian?
No, I wanted to be a baseball player, then a doctor.
Which do you like better, acting in movies or on television? Why?
Movie acting suits me because I only need to be good for ninety seconds at a time.

From the Back Cover:
"Murray plays the funny, daffy guy with all the verve he gives to that role in his
movies. If he's had a staid moment in his golfing life, it isn't told here."
--Washington Post
"No one has ever provided a sport with more comic relief than Bill Murray does
golf."
--Christian Science Monitor
"A book infused with gentle humor and even poetic insight. The style is breezy,
anecdotal and deadpan...like one of Murray's comic routines."
--Denver Post
On the back cover:
"So what is
this about, you and the Saints?"
I asked Bill Murray in the
dugout.
"What's the
connection?"
"You have to find that
out for yourself,"
he said.
"I can't tell you."
