Tom: I have no friends in my life except you (referring to Perkins)

I may only meet one writer like Tom in my life, but you may not meet your daughters in the next life. Two extreme men who write books, not same-sex love, but Perkins has no son, treat Tom as his son , Tom is addicted to books, takes his works as seriously as himself, treats Perkins as a confidant, (to his wife is just a good helper who helped him write a book, when his wife puts the relationship between them When his love is heavier than his books, he feels that his wife is inferior to his own works) They communicate through books, Perkins loves his wife and daughter equally, and between work, and his wife Both my daughter and I understand this old stubbornness, but Tom's wife abandoned her family, career, work, for Tom, but Tom did this to her. Seeing life from a window, no amount of gorgeous words can understand the true meaning of life. As a gold editor, Perkins forged friendships with writers such as Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Wolff in the era of the Great Depression in the United States.

I haven't read the original book, "Angel, Looking to My Hometown", I will read it when I have time.

    Maxima often has it, but Bole does not often have it! A story of mutual achievement between writers and editors! The male protagonist is too scumbag, and he has no sense of responsibility and responsibility! And the movie is too literary! Just like film critics hate animated sci-fi, I also hate this kind of literary film! A writer's life is better than a documentary! After all, movies are meant to have impact, and such a dull movie is not as real as a book!
