“Tell me,” said Don, “Was there anything you wanted to be before you became some rich dude’s bitch?”
“An artist,” I said.
“So you wanted to be some rich dude’s bitch all along.”
Don and Milo, Sam Lipsyte’s The Ask
From the New York Times review by Lydia Millet:
Sam Lipsyte’s third novel, “The Ask,” is a dark and jaded beast — the sort of book that, if it were an animal, would be a lumbering, hairy, cryptozoological ape-man with a near-crippling case of elephantiasis.
A movie adaptation of The Ask is set to be produced by Jackie Kelman Bisbee and Lance Acord of Park Pictures.
