title: Like Brothers
author:  Mark Duplass 
description: Wright. Ringling. Jonas. Im sure you could name a bunch of famous brother teams. Theyre all garbage compared to Mark and Jay. I cant wait for you to read this book.<b>from the foreword by Mindy Kaling</b><br /><br /> A likable memoir of how Jay and Mark Duplass blazed their idiosyncratic trail, and an inspiring how-to guide.<b><i>The</i> <i>New York Times Book Review</i></b><br /><br /> The book is a collection of diverse pieces that fit together to reveal the puzzle of [the Duplass brothers] lives. Theres part of it thats very practical. . . . But another big piece of the book is the chapters that explore their unusually close relationship. . . . Both parts of <i>Like Brothers</i> make for a fascinating read.<b><i>Orange County Register</i></b><br /><br /> <i>Like Brothers</i> is more encompassing than most moviemaking memoirs. . . . [It] isnt just worthwhile for fans of the Duplass Brothers; this autobiography is a fascinating look at the art of sneaking into the industry through the back door . . . [and] just how they pulled it off.<b><i>Moviemaker</i></b><br /><br /> Afrank, intimate, hilarious account of their creative success and personal bond.<b><i>Entertainment Weekly</i></b><br /> <br /> Mark and Jay Duplass are not just brothers, kind of like their book is not just a memoir. . . . The book playfully darts between essays, pop-culture tributes and self-help tips. . . . What sets <i>Like Brothers</i> apart . . . is the uncanny bond between its authors. . . . <i>Like Brothers</i> is ultimately a fascinating window into the creative process, showing the complexities that come with being so inextricably linked.<b><i>USA Today</i></b><br /><br /> Equal parts touching memoir and rallying cry, the book is a candid and often unapologetically emotional survival guide for aspiring artists.<b><i>Vulture</i></b><br /><br /> <i>Like Brothers</i> is . . . a surprisingly practical road map to a rewarding creative partnership. . . . <i>Like Brothers</i> is as openhearted and lovably offbeat as Mark and Jay themselves.<b><i>Broadway World</i></b><br /><br />As creative partners, we sure learned a thing or two from Mark and Jay Duplasss journey through the Hollywood machine. <i>Like Brothers</i> is an essential guide for making space for yourself in a world that doesnt always encourage individuality and innovation. As useful to an aspiring filmmaker as it is to a pair of siblings wondering How do we turn our connection into something great?, this book will be essential on your shelf.<b>Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner</b><br /><br /> The Duplass Brothers have a genius for conveying deep feeling without ever straying into sentimentality. Here they capture the often wonderful and occasionally terrible business of collaborating professionally with someone you love.<b>John Green and Hank Green </b><br /><br /> As a writing team and directing team, we love seeing two people who are more intelligent and articulate than us explore the dynamic that we dont have the depth or self-reflectiveness to explore ourselves!<b>Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg</b><br /><br /> In my next life Id like to come back as a Duplass Brother. But until then Ill just enjoy their hilarious, insightful book.<b>Judd Apatow</b>
