Breakdown
DANIEL:
20’s. Any ethnicity. A typical Midwestern young man. Tall and strong. Daniel is a writer, a recent graduate from the University of Iowa and is currently writing a “real” novel. Daniel returns to this small mid-western town, in order to live in some quiet solace in order to reflect on his past. He interviews for a position at Linda’s store – Books to the Sky – having visited the store when he was young. The story Daniel writes – even though he insists it is not autobiographical – calls upon his favorite Frank O’Hara poems and attempts to sort out something from his past.
LINDA:
Late 40’s. Filipina, an American immigrant. Linda is the owner of the bookstore ''Books to the Sky.'' She is maternal yet rigid, supportive yet challenging. It is revealed her son committed suicide when he was 17. An entrepreneur, the bookstore is all she has left after her son’s death and her subsequent divorce. Linda is a lover of writers as well and takes to Daniel fairly quickly, although she still sees it as her place to give him advice about how he – a gay man – presents himself in their small, mid-western town. Like Daniel, Linda is grappling with something in her past and sees her new relationship with Daniel as a means to resolve it.
