Gavin Edwards (born 1968) is an American journalist and non-fiction writer. He has written 14 books, including The Tao of Bill Murray: Real-Life Stories of Joy, Enlightenment, and Party Crashing, and Bad Motherfucker:The Life and Movies of Samuel L. Jackson, the Coolest Man in Hollywood. He co-wrote MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios, a New York Times bestseller published in 2023. [1]
Edwards was born in New York to Scilla and James Edwards. He graduated from Yale University in 1990 with a BA in English.[2]
Focused primarily on music, Edwards began working as a contributing editor and associate editor at Details in 1991. He later wrote for Wired, the New York Times and Rolling Stone, where, as a contributing editor, he wrote 12 cover stories.[3][4]
In 1995, Touchstone Books published the first of Edwards' five books on misheard lyrics, Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy. [5][6]
Edwards' 2016 book, The Tao of Bill Murray, consisted of a brief biography of Bill Murray, a 106-page filmography of 59 films, and a breakdown of the "10 Principles of Bill," a "kind of existentialist/Zen mashup that preaches a heightened awareness of the present."[7][8]
Edwards and his wife, curator Jennifer Sudul Edwards, live in Charlotte, North Carolina with their two sons.[2][9]
