Sideways is a 2004 novel by Rex Pickett.[1]

Contents

[edit] Plot introduction

The novel is the story of two friends, Miles and Jack, who go away together for the last time to steep themselves in everything that makes it good to be young and single. During the week before Jack plans to marry, the pair heads out from Los Angeles to the Santa Ynez wine country.

[edit] Film adaptation

In 2004, the novel was made into a film, Sideways, directed by Alexander Payne.[2] Although the film largely follows the book's outline, there are multiple differences between the two, especially regarding the two main characters' involvement with the two women during the course of their trip.

[edit] Sequel

A sequel of the original novel entitled Vertical and written by Rex Pickett was released in September 2010.
