Jeremy Taylor:
You wanted to see me, sir?
Mr. Benton:
You read The Times this morning?
Mr. Benton:
Avershays Press announced a deal with Irving Gattinger.
Jeremy Taylor:
Gattinger said that he was done with writing.
Mr. Benton:
Yes. He hasn't written a book in 10 years.
Jeremy Taylor:
It's a brilliant move. Based on name recognition alone, it'll be an instant bestseller.
Mr. Benton:
Yes. What do you think about Weldon Parish?
Jeremy Taylor:
Parish is one of my personal favorites. Why, are you thinking of signing him? The man hasn't written anything in 20 years.
Mr. Benton:
All the more reason.
