No more Four Seasons dining and rejected second novels. The only
television show currently on the air developed by a Brooklyn
novelist returns for a second season with an episode branding
print publishing as a bad breakup and/or dungeon fetish.  As the
audiences is greeted by Jonathan Ames (Jason Schwartzman)
teaching night school, the first discussion of a struggling
publishing world comes in the form of admission.  Even George
(Ted Danson) isn't reading anymore.  Later George goes on to
semi-selling out his high profile New York magazine into the
hands of what we can only guess are Libertarian religious tea-
partiers.  Is (the real) Jonathan Ames trying to tell us
something, is it a plot device, or is it something HBO
productions assumes we already know? Will the last bastion of
"life imitating television" go digital, or will it be completely
vanquished by the ironic metaphor in "saying grace?"
