Here’s the bit.
At a literary festival, novelist Sebastian responds enthusiastically when an organizer asks him to meet young writers. His agent counters each generous offer with blunt refusals, leaving the organizer caught between their incompatible messages. Sebastian escalates from a selfie to signed books and lunch while the agent decides the appearance is over.
