What Are You Willing To Do To Get What You Want? Perhaps the most
important thing about Cory Boatright was that he had an affable
personality. Life was hard, the odds were against him, but that was
okay because he was still enjoying himself. He had an easy smile
and a nice laugh. He joked around with people, he chatted easily,
and he could also be serious. He was good looking, smart, cool,
calm and collected. A Stanford graduate with top honors in
literature, he was now working as a waiter in Los Angeles, trying
to make it as an actor and meeting all kinds of people, like Howard
- a bumbling old eccentric man with a scarred up face who was
interesting, really brilliant, and a good tipper, too. It was no
coincidence that Howard always asked for Cory as a waiter. He
wanted to ask Cory a question, but how was he going to ask it?
Look, I'm a genius. I've written a ton of books. All I've ever done
in my life is write books, and now I need your help bringing them
into the world. I can't do it on my own. I'm helpless with people.
I get all tongue-tied. I'm ugly, scarred, old. Who wants to read my
books? Who wants to hear that story? But imagine if you, Cory
Boatright, were the golden boy of literature. A protege. Imagine
that. Wrap your head around that story. That's a story that can be
sold, that's a story that's presentable, desirable. Cory looked at
the manuscript, then turned the page. "Hey, my name's on it," Cory
said. "But this isn't my book." "Who says it's not your book?"
Howard asked. An intriguing story which is beautifully and
poignantly crafted; a story which examines the desires and fears
which guide and drive us all; a story of two men pushing to realize
their own unique dreams; "The Author, The Actor, & The Whore"
will surprise you and touch you with its heartfelt unfurling, while
also making you question just what you would be willing to do to
live the life of your dreams.
