[Kevin Connery · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wanted to, and tried to like, but had serious trouble finishing--it tried to be deeper, but it just didn't make it for me

Writers are mostly sad people who usually want something other than what they have, career-wise. Even James Baldwin was frustrated because he couldn't get a screenplay written and sold. This book is about a screenwriter who specializes in re-writes, which he gets paid large sums of money to do, and sometimes an exotic vacation. But is he happy? No, because he wants to write his own screenplay, or maybe a novel, or maybe short stories . . . the writer's life.
