Rex Pickett's sideways success
Rex Pickett, author of Sideways talks about his novel to the Guardian: "He retained enough commercial awareness to appreciate that the novel would not succeed if it were unremittingly depressing. Earlier in his career, he had directed a film, and learned the hard way. "I knew if I was going to write about failure and despair, I better lace it with humour," he says. "My first film was despair without humour and it ended up selling to German television, and that was it. They were the only ones who were into just despair."
