Leonard Schiller is a once-famous novelist who has reached the twilight of his life and his career. Once one of America's leading novelists, Schiller has now faded into literary obscurity: his novels are now out of print and he is struggling to finish the novel, ten years in the making. But when Heather Wolfe, an ambitious graduate student, asks to interview Schiller with promises that her thesis will reignite interest in his work, Schiller is forced to face his past and the choices which dictated his life.
Frank Langella gives an exceptional, multi-layered performance in what is sure to be the role of a lifetime.
