15 INT. LIPSKY’S W 77TH ST APT/BEDROOM/BATHROOM - NYC - 1996 - 15
NIGHT:
Lipsky, at the bathroom door, reads aloud Walter Kirn’s review in New York magazine (2/12/96). Sarah comes out in a towel and he follows her to the bedroom.
LIPSKY:
“Next year’s book awards have been decided.” Can you believe this? “The plaques and citations can now be put into escrow.” Unbelievable. “With Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace - a plutonium-dense, satirical whiz-kid opus that runs to almost a thousand pages She kisses him as she goes past.

LIPSKY (CONTD) - (not including footnotes) - thecompetition has been obliterated.
It’s as though Paul Bunyan had joined the NFL or Wittgenstein had gone onJeopardy! The novel is that colossallydisruptive. And that spectacularlygood.” That’s the f***ing opening paragraph!
SARAH:
What if it actually is that good? You know? You may just have to read it.
16 INT. LIPSKY’S W 77TH ST APT/LIVING ROOM - NYC - 1996 - DUSK 16 If his 2008 place is grad-student-y, the 1996 Lipskyresidence is smaller and explosively chaotic, like ateenager’s domain. We find Sarah on the couch reading thecurrent bestseller, Primary Colors and Lipsky beside herreading Infinite Jest. Silence.
Sh*t.
LIPSKY:
17 INT. ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE/CUBICLES/BOB'S OFFICE - NYC - 1996 - DAY 17 Buzzing with the hip, youthful industry of people who knowthey’re at the place to be. Lipsky drops by to see hiseditor, BOB LEVIN, 40, greying, bearded.
LIPSKY:
How many times have we interviewed awriter in the last ten years? Guess.
BOB:
Um... how many?
Zero.
LIPSKY:
I checked.
BOB:
Maybe that’s because Rolling Stone doesn’t interview writers.
LIPSKY:
There hasn’t been a writer like this one. Once in a generation, maybe.
Hemingway, Pynchon. Let me have this story.
BOB:
What story?
7.
Lipsky tosses Newsweek, opened to a photo of Wallace, onto Bob’s messy desk.
LIPSKY:
He’s finishing up his book tour and I want to go with him.
BOB:
That’s not a story.
LIPSKY:
He teaches at some small state university, somewhere in Illinois.
Send me there. Please, Bob. This is the sort of stuff I should be doing, not 500-words on boy bands. Talk to Jann?
