Steph's mom.
She spends a lot of time over there.
:50:02
You got kids?
:50:04
Uh, me? No. No.
:50:06
No, I'd just fuck 'em up.
:50:10
No, that was the one unpolluted part
of my divorce- no kids.
:50:14
Yeah. Same here.
:50:16
Good.
:50:18
Let's go in there.
:50:22
Now, for a low, low
4.8% A.P.R. financing-
:50:36
Looks like our friends
are really hitting it off.
:50:39
Yeah, I would say that.
:50:42
Yeah.
:50:44
So, what's your novel about?
:50:47
What's my- Oh, brother.
:50:49
Well, it's, uh-
it's difficult to summarize.
:50:52
Um...
:50:54
it starts out as a kind of
first-person narrative...
:50:57
about a guy taking care
of his father after a stroke.
:51:00
- Oh.
- It's kind of based on, uh, personal experience.
:51:04
But only- only loosely.
:51:06
What's the title?
:51:07
The Day After Yesterday.
:51:09
Oh. You mean today.
:51:14
Um... uh, yeah.
I mean, r-right. But it's more-
:51:17
So it's about, like,
death and mortality, or-
:51:21
Uh, yeah-
:51:23
Y- Not really.
:51:25
I, uh- It de- It jumps around a lot.
:51:28
That's what it's about, in a way.
You know what I mean?
:51:31
You start to see everything
from the point of view of the father.
:51:34
And, uh, a lot of other things happen-
parallel narratives.
:51:37
It's kind of a mess.
:51:39
And then, eventually,
the whole thing sort of evolves...
:51:42
or devolves...
:51:44
into this sort of
Robbe-Grillet mystery.
:51:46
You know?
:51:48
But no real resolution.
:51:50
- Wow.
- It-
:51:52
Well, I think it's really great
you're getting it published.
:51:55
Really. I mean, I know how hard it is
just to write it, even.
:51:58
Yeah.
