“Gondelman Is In Peril” a novel so specific that no one but me could star in the prestige tv adaptation. SORRY, RICHLY-DESERVING OSCAR NOMINEE JESSE EISENBERG!!!
"I bring to you page one of my upcoming novel, Gondelman is in Peril. George Gondelman. I didn't kill him. I didn't kill him. So there's a little blurriness. Put his head down on his desk. He had just canceled a work meeting, citing a feeling of vertigo, stemming from his acute and ever-present awareness of the Holocaust. But in reality, he was probably just hungry. The cruel oath felt soothing against Gondelman's abundant forehead. He tried not to think of himself as having a terrible head of hair, but rather a dazzling head of head. A largely unadorned carrying case for his clever but otherwise not especially powerful brain. A brain that spent an inordinate portion of its energy upset at even pretty nice hotels seldom splurged for upmarket toilet paper. A brain that often declined invitations to friend's weddings for unclear reasons, but would rarely turn down the opportunity to accept sushi of dubious provenance. Including sometimes on a boat. As Gondelman sat up, the soft midsection butted up against the desk. For no particular reason, he thought to himself that if someone were to make a movie or TV series about his life, it would be important that no one too conventionally sexy be cast to portray him. No one with six-pack abs or an impressive beard or even especially good posture, he thought. Honestly, he considered idly, it would be a mistake to cast someone who is too seasoned or talented as a performer in the role. It would take away from the relatable everyman quality he's convinced he has despite being a weird little Jew whose inner voice leaves new acquaintances misdivided by his sexuality."
