Quentin Tarantino to Release ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth’ Book in December

“Hollywood, 1977. The Swinging Sixties are long gone — but Clifford Booth keeps on keeping on,“ the synopsis reads of the upcoming book centered on the character played by Brad Pitt in the 2019 film.

Quentin Tarantino is set to release a book titled "The Adventures of Cliff Booth" in December. The book is a novelization of a spinoff from his 2019 film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" and centers on the character Cliff Booth, played by Brad Pitt. According to Variety, the book differs from "The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth," which is also the title of the forthcoming film.

The book offers Tarantino's own creative vision for the story in novel form, as stated by Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins. Tarantino has expressed his excitement for the project, stating he "can't wait for audiences to see and read Cliff Booth's further adventures." The character of Cliff Booth is set in 1977, where "the Swinging Sixties are long gone," as described in the book's synopsis.

The film, directed by David Fincher, is a spinoff of Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," and Brad Pitt reprises his Oscar-winning role as Cliff Booth, a longtime stuntman. Tarantino's book is his second novelization, following his novelized version of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood." The book is set to be released on December 8.
