    I like how she thinks it's so terrible that instead of saving an overpriced, replacable watch, he saves the only copy of his first novel.


    Yeah, that's just... kind of endearing.


    The stabbing thing is disconcerting, though. No more Eminem for you, Mr. Gyllenhaal.

    There are other possible explanations, but borderline personality disorder would explain the publisher's behavior from start to finish.

    By removing the hollywood references, we get: "...a mysterious contemporary family consisting of a manque father, manipulative mother and two emotionally confused children..."


    They sound...normal, actually.

    "At this time he reveals his secret desire to stab Naomi.."


    So the ostensible publisher of his poems feigns not to know that his poetry isn't a literal desire for murder. Presenting it as though it were shows her to be either stupid or venal, and I'm supposing the latter. Ugh.

    So this wacky, quirky, artistic family is wacky and quirky and artistic? What a shock!


    John Irving had better watch his back -- I think he stole this story for every one of his novels.
