Oh, the suspense is killing me.
Don't stop now.
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.527
Seriously, your first novel was more
or less autobiographical, wasn't it?
00:00:06.704 --> 00:00:09.901
- I thought it was more or less lousy.
- Well, that isn't so.
00:00:10.074 --> 00:00:12.338
It might have lacked something
in craftsmanship...
00:00:12.051 --> 00:00:15.775
...but it's a really powerful study
of rejection.
00:00:15.947 --> 00:00:18.381
Oh, that it was.
It was rejected by 42 publishers...
00:00:18.549 --> 00:00:20.949
...and almost all
of the English-reading public.
00:00:21.118 --> 00:00:23.518
Now, look, I told you once before,
I'm not a writer.
00:00:23.688 --> 00:00:25.918
You have two books
in the Parkman Library.
00:00:26.009 --> 00:00:29.015
And those two books
have netted me exactly $48.
