Frank Langella plays Leonard Schiller, a New York novelist whose work has fallen into obscurity, in Andrew Wagner's well-received drama. Schiller has been diligently toiling on his fifth book for a decade when his life is changed unexpectedly by the appearance of Heather Wolfe (Lauren Ambrose), an ambitious graduate student interested in his work. Wagner's intelligent adaptation of Brian Morton's novel features vivid, self-aware characters and was praised by Salon as "both intimate and immediate." Costarring Lili Taylor and Adrian Lester
