Lunch With Roger

Toronto: Les Trois O, 1992

Excerpt:

He is taken to lunch every day, he is ready for people who want to get something from him. The snow is blowing. I will dream something interesting to say; above all, as he will have no use for me, be interesting. I will talk about his last film, rhapsodize, for his delectation, upon his genius. Silverberg who introduced us---I will talk about Silverberg. The restaurant is almost empty. The table in the corner? I am very hungry and I am not hungry. Two men are sharing an antipasto, one has a black turtleneck and curly hair and the other, with more hair, could be a hyena. They are laughing about pickles and marinades. "Is this a pickle? Is this a marinade? So what's the difference between a pickle and a marinade?" I don't have a watch, where is he?
