hwp Pasadena, home to little old ladies, noble laureates...
high tech science, beautiful museums...
and a Pulitzer Prize winner or two.
Welcome to a city where people still read.
Are you looking for anything special?
-Do you like thrillers? -Not particularly.
Its a pretty good one.
-I didnt think Hitler had children. -Well...
none that we know of, but what if Hitler had a child with...
Eva Braun...
then raised in Argentina by the Nazis to follow in his fathers steps.
Thats so ridiculous!
Well, its a premise, and theyre allowed to be ridiculous.
Thanks, but Im gonna keep looking.
-A 25-dollar-book for $3.99 . -Not, if I dont buy it.
Right.
Is this you?
-Did you write this book? -It took years out of my life...
but dont let that influence you.
Would you sign this for me?
-Are you sure? -Sure!
-What would you like me to say? -Youre the author.
Thanks.
-"Enjoy". I definitely will. -Please, do.
-Thanks. -Thank you.
-Bye. -Bye.
This is the story of Byron Tiller...
a modest man living in a modest Pasadena neighborhood.
A neighborhood built for middle income families...
when the middle was still closer to the top than the bottom.
-Say "hi" to mom! -Hi.
-Hi, how are you? You know? -No.
-I sold a book today. -Hey, thats good!
I havent done the math, but I think itll bring us another cents.
-Course the taxes will kill us. -The important thing is, honey...
...people are reading your work. -I went to Rizzolis.
Couldnt find it but I turned around and there it was: years of my life.
In the remainder bin, along with cookbooks, self-help...
...and achieving orgasms. -If orgasms dont get full price...
...you have nothing to be ashamed of. -What is this?
What?
Did Heinz die or something?
The man makes varieties and we cant afford any of them?
Why pay extra for a label?
How many diapers is Nathaniel still going through? In one week?
That depends on if he decides to spit his food up instead of swallow it.
And when does he decide to take muscle control seriously?
Three, I think.
Then my new book better get published...
quick.
I dont want you to have a worry, champ. Dads gonna take care of you.
You go to sleep now, Mr. Nathaniel Hawthorne Tiller.
I love you.
What are you doing in there?
Im moving his head. Making sure it doesnt flatten out on one side.
It hardened two years ago. Come to bed.
Come to bed?
-What were my two men talking about? -Mostly we talked about law schools.
-I think hes leaning towards Duke. -Thats a good school.
He thinks so.
-Maybe he doesnt wanna be a lawyer. -Nobody wants to be a lawyer.
Thats why you have to shove that seed in early.
-Maybe he wants to write, like dad. -If his head doesnt flatten out...
that wont happen.
-You dont have a flat head. -Maybe not on the outside.
-Honey... -What?
God gave you a gift.
Remember what "Newsweek" said?
"Byron Tillers sentences have bounce and color.
Hilters Child shows sparks of originality...
...not often seen in thrillers." -"In the thriller mode", he said.
-And what about the "Times"? -Refresh me.
I believe he said something about me and that Hemingway guy.
-Yeah? -Yes.
-I think it slipped my mind. -Really, it slipped your mind?
Maybe I should refresh your memory.
Refreshing, here I go.
h, my God!
"Like Hemingway, he carves his sentences...
with a...
with a diamond cutters eye...
Leaving the best and the brightest."
-God, youre good! -I cant hear you!
I said youre good!
Whether his wife was talking to Byron or God isnt certain.
But there seemed to be more than enough credit to go around.
And thats what got my attention.
Tucked neatly between the Hollywood porn shops, novelty shops...
and Scientology shops...
crammed in amongst the recording studios whose heyday had long past...
the unproduced screenwriters whose deals had long lapsed...
the bad actors teaching methods on emoting to other bad actors...
who dream of one day passing an audition...
sat Byron Tiller, who until recently believed writing novels...
no one wanted to read was a real job.
Sell, baby, sell.
Goals have a way of becoming less high-minded when you need money.
-Priority. -Yes, sir.
Thank you.
The type of man perfect for Elysian Fields.
-Come in. -Thanks.
I sent it to you because Little Brown published the last one.
So I figured: why break up a winning combination?
-Biscotti? -No, Im okay, thanks.
Well, Im sure it could use a trim here and there...
...but thats why youre the editor. -All I can say is that...
Excalibur must be great. Everyone wanna kill each other just to get it.
Its the sword that King Arthur himself pulled out of the rock.
-I know the back story. - f course.
It just seems a little out of place in a novel about migrant workers.
Well, Excalibur represents a symbol.
-A symbol? -It represents to me...
the downtroddens hopes and dreams for the future.
And the migrant workers are simply a microcosm.
Arent they always?
See...
...thats where we have a problem. -What is that?
Tell you a little secret about microcosms.
