I just read an excerpt in Entertainment Weekly where he writes about Night crying after a dinner where Disney execs rejected his script (and thus also rejected him).
I kept thinking is he really writing this? Is this really the kind of portrayal that a Hollywood director wants?
I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.

Crying with the Disney people?
Ah yes, our favourite director -- "Unwatchable", I remember!
