Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino has signed a two-book deal with Harper, to include his first novel and personal writings on 1970s-era film.
Harper, a division of HarperCollins Publishers, will release Tarantino’s first work of fiction, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, in summer 2021.
The novel is based on Tarantino's Oscar-winning film of the same name, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie and was up for 10 Academy Awards.
The novel promises to chart the lives of Tarantino’s main film protagonists, TV actor Rick Dalton and his stunt double Cliff Booth, forward and backward in time.
