Meanwhile, Robert's agent Mira is approached at her office by a man claiming to be the novel's antagonist, Edmund Rose, who offers to help her galvanize Robert through his creative block. When both parties converge on Robert's apartment, resentments bubble to the surface and uncomfortable truths come to light.
