But all he heard back
was rejection, disinterest,
Silence.
Finally, the great writer, Rory Jansen
was forced to take a day job.
of the biggest publishing houses
in New York,
hoping to make some connections."
I made a million connections here.
What, you're a writer?
Yeah.
I got all my stuff into
I'm actually glad it's taking me
It's given me a chance to develop
my style, understand the market.
So, what kind of stuff do you write?
Angry young men, I guess.
I used to be like that.
Now I write sci-fi.
You mature, you know.
Just give it time.
Uh...
I'll just stay in and watch a movie
or get food or something. Ahem.
Okay.
"Without even knowing it,
they had settled into their lives.
And on a Friday afternoon,
they were married at City Hall.
They honeymooned in Paris."
You ready?
Yup.
Two minutes, okay?
Just two more minutes.
No more antique shops.
Thank you.
Put that down.
Rory.
Klondike 474.
Repeat 47...
What do you think of this?
It's like some...
That's nice.
What do you think of it?
I think it's old.
I think it's great.
I feel like if we clean it up,
you can use it for work.
Yeah?
It's classy.
I'm gonna get it for you.
Thank you, Mrs. Jansen.
They returned to New York,
and the honeymoon was over.
All mail and packages
go to the assistants only.
Hey, Irene.
"And then, with no warning at all,
Rory got the call
that he had been waiting for."
Thank you.
Okay.
Thank you very much. All right, okay.
The agent had a reputation
for impeccable taste
and discovering young literary stars.
It's good.
It's really good. I mean,
it's a beautiful piece of writing,
and the truth is that you should be
very proud of yourself.
Thank you very much.
I worked very hard on it.
The work shows.
I look at you,
I can't believe how young you are.
Well...
I have to tell you, Rory,
I just see so much truth in your work.
I am... I'm so impressed.
I can't believe this.
This is...
But unfortunately, the nature of
the publishing business right now,
at this particular time,
is such that I don't know
how to publish a book like this.
Look, Rory, no one is gonna support
a book like this.
Book like this?
From an unknown writer.
There's just no market for it.
Now, it's hard for any writer,
under any circumstances,
without a track record
to get published. And this book...
I mean, it's so interior.
Interior? What is that?
It's artistic, it's subtle. It's...
It's a piece of art.
