The Extra Man by Jonathan Ames
After unexpectedly losing his job, former Princeton private school teacher Louis Ives is forced to take a room in the dank, cluttered New York apartment of one Henry Harrison, a failed playwright some forty years his senior.
Jonathan Ames is the author of the novels Wake Up, Sir!, The Extra Man, and I Pass Like Night; a graphic novel, The Alcoholic (with artwork by Dean Haspiel), and the essay collections I Love You More Than You Know, My Less Than Secret Life, and What's Not to Love? He is the winner of a Guggenheim Fellowship and is a former columnist for New York Press. Ames performs frequently as a storyteller and has been a recurring guest on David Letterman. He has fought in two amateur boxing matches as The Herring Wonder, and he has peformed in a number of shows. Ames had the lead role in the IFC film The Girl Under the Waves, was a porn-extra in the porn film C-Men, and played himself in a pilot episode for the Showtime network. At the time, he said, It's the role I've been waiting for! He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
