DAVID:
Why not?
LIPSKY:
I don’t know, you don’t think this is like some kid-brother sort of thing to do?
DAVID:
No. Thanks, man, I look forward to reading it.
LIPSKY:
You’re welcome. I wrote my address and e-mail on the flyleaf.
DAVID:
I’ll read it soon as I’m done with the Heinlein and I’ll send you a note.
LIPSKY:
Great. Thanks.
David flips through the book.
DAVID:
I’ll be curious to see what it’s like being inside your head for a change.
I like your cover.
LIPSKY:
Yeah, me, too. I had them use the cover art for the British edition.
DAVID:
Come on. You got approval but I - ?
(stops himself) It’s nice. It’s very nice.
Lipsky puts his bag in the Grand Am and slams the trunk.
LIPSKY:
Hey, isn’t it reassuring that a lot of people are reading you and saying you’re a really strong writer?
DAVID:
It’d be very interesting to talk to you in a few years.
LIPSKY:
Why do you say that?
83.
DAVID:
‘Cause my own experience is that that’s not so. The more people think that you’re really good, actually the bigger the fear of being a fraud is.
The worst thing about having a lot of attention paid to you, is that you’re afraid of bad attention. If bad attention hurts you, then the calibre of the weapon that’s pointed at you has gone way up. Like from a .22 to a .45. But there’s a part of me that wants a lot of attention. And that thinks I’m really good, and wants other people to see it. It’s one of the ways I think we’re sort of alike, you know?
LIPSKY:
Uh huh.
Lipsky smiles and nods. Pause.
LIPSKY:
(in farewell) Well... Lipsky’s awkward attempt at a hug - unreciprocated by David - turns into a clumsy handshake. Lipsky gets into the car.
David stands at his window.
DAVID:
I’m not so sure you want to be me.
LIPSKY:
I don’t?
