: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.
:52:00
I mean, like me, I've got this paper
due on Friday...
:52:03
and I'm freaked out about it,
just like in high school.
:52:06
- A paper, huh?
- Yeah.
:52:08
I'm going for a master's degree
in horticulture.
:52:11
Sorta chipping away on it.
:52:14
- Horticulture? Really?
- Mmm.
:52:16
I didn't even know
that there was a college here.
:52:19
Well, I commute to San Luis Obispo
twice a week.
:52:23
Horticulture? Wow.
:52:25
So, do you want to work
in a winery or something?
:52:29
Maybe.
:52:32
Oh.
:52:36
Hmm.
:52:38
So, when can I read your book?
:52:42
Well, I- You know, I- Well, I do happen
to have a manuscript in my car.
:52:46
Um, it's not proofed or anything...
:52:48
so it's- it's full of typos.
:52:50
- If you don't mind typos-
- Oh, no. Who cares?
:52:52
I'm the queen of typos.
:52:54
Okay.
