You can’t watch cult classic The Room without one big question: who the fuck is Tommy Wiseau? In this book, Greg Sestero (the real life Mark) chronicles his strange decade long friendship with Tommy Wiseau and the utterly disastrous filming that culminated in the movie we all know and love.

On the one hand, there aren’t really many surprises here. Wiseau is exactly as strange as you’d imagine him-a very damaged man with an immense dream who has somehow turned failing forward into an art form. But even if we all know how it ends (tearing me apart, Lisa) this is an in-depth and loving portrait of the movie industry’s most lovable loser.
