One of the best twists I've ever read. made all the better by it not being a plot twist but a twist in the internal psychology of the book. Really brilliant stuff, tho the foot scene is one of the most gross things I've ever read.

The idea of a writer having to figure out how to resurrect a character they had never intended to bring back is intriguing. The added tension that if he doesn't do it in a way that feels 'fair' his new Editor will murder him on the spot is what elevates it to brilliant.

It's a testament to Kathy Bates performance that I simply can't not picture her in this.
