The fizz in the drink

“To be Leo! To have a huge role like that! To play the role that is the fizz in the drink, you know what I mean? You are the movie! I wish I could play the lead role in one movie, one great movie.” — Alec Baldwin, in this week's New Yorker.

He's in luck. I wrote the lead in my new novel, In The Rooms, with him very much in mind (for the full imaginary cast, see above). I wouldn't mention it, fearing retribution from whichever God it is who punishes hubris, but only three people read this blog, so who cares.
