In this book Richard Ayoade - actor, writer, director, and amateur dentist - reflects on his cinematic legacy as only he can: in conversation with himself. Over ten brilliantly insightful and often erotic interviews, Ayoade examines himself fully and without mercy, leading a breathless investigation into this once-in-a-generation visionary. Only Ayoade can appreciate Ayoade's unique methodology. Only Ayoade can recognise Ayoade's talent. Only Ayoade can withstand Ayoade's peculiar scent. Only Ayoade can truly get inside Ayoade. They have called their book Ayoade on Ayoade: A Cinematic Odyssey. Take the journey, and your life will never be the same again. Ayoade on Ayoade captures the director in his own words: pompous, vain, angry and very, very funny.

Review:
'Very, very funny . . . Not only a must for fans of Ayoade's style of comedy but of cinema, too. You won't read anything like it this year, or ever.' (Den of Geek)
Richard Ayoade takes celebrity introspection to the next level with a wickedly po-faced paean to his process ... required reading for anyone even thinking about writing a memoir. (GQ)
A brilliantly sustained takedown of anyone who has ever written a self-indulgent book about their own careers. (Grazia)
(Ayoade's) eccentric parody of pretentious film tomes, full of posturing, absurdity and brutally passive-aggressive swipes at his own ego is a clear reflection of his very distinctive wit. (Steve Bennett Chortle.co.uk)
