Overview: Rex Pickett was born and raised in California. He attended the University of California at San Diego where he graduated summa cum laude with a Special Projects major, his diploma reading: "Specializing in Contemporary Literary and Film Criticism and Creative Writing." He moved to L.A. to attend USC graduate film school in the early ’80s. He left after one year when the opportunity to make an independent feature film arose.
During the ’80s Rex wrote and directed two independent feature films. The first, California Without End, was produced on a budget of less than $100K and was sold to Bavarian Radio Television. The second, more ambitious, film, titled From Hollywood to Deadwood, was a 4,000 mile road film made for just under a million. It sold to then Island Pictures (now MGM) and was theatrically released in 1990.
Genre: General Fiction
Sideways: Sideways is the story of two friends–Miles and Jack–going away together for the last time to steep themselves in everything that makes it good to be young and single: pinot, putting, and prowling bars. In the week before Jack plans to marry, the pair heads out from Los Angeles to the Santa Ynez wine country. For Jack, the tasting tour is Seven Days to D-Day, his final stretch of freedom. For Miles–who has divorced his wife, is facing an uncertain career and has lost his passion for living–the trip is a weeklong opportunity to evaluate his past, his future and himself.
A raucous and surprising novel filled with wonderful details about wine, Sideways is also a thought-provoking and funny book about men, women, and human relationships.
Vertical: The Follow-Up to Sideways: The follow-up novel to the blockbuster Sideways tracks the continuing story of Miles Raymond and his buddy Jack. It’s seven years later. Miles has written a novel that has been made into a wildly successful movie, and the movie has changed his life. Jack, contrarily, is divorced, has a kid, and is on the skids. Phyllis, Miles’s mom, has suffered a stroke that’s left her wheelchair-bound and wasting away in assisted-living. She desperately wants to live with her sister in Wisconsin. When Miles gets invited to be master of ceremonies at a Pinot Noir festival in Oregon, he hatches a harebrained road trip. With Jack as his co-pilot, he leases a handicapped-equipped rampvan, hires a pot-smoking Filipina caretaker and, with his mother’s rascally Yorkie in tow, they take off for Wisconsin via Oregon’s fabled Willamette Valley, where Miles is Master of ceremonies of the International Pinot Festival. It is a road novel for the smart set and wine lover, and anything but predictable.
