DescriptionKaren describes to her boss why she thinks the book she read inspires her

Summary

The play is a black comedy about the film industry. Karen is an ambitious and beautiful young girl who works in the office of a mid level producer, Bobby Gould. Her boss makes a bet with his friend Charlie Fox that he will bed Karen. He gives her a book to read in order to get her opinion whether the book has potential to get made into a movie. This is just an excuse since he thinks the book hasn't a chance to get made into a film and the sole purpose was to get her to his apartment. Ironically, Karen loves the book, as a matter of fact it moves her deeply and changes her life...

In this scene Karen is in Bobby's apartment and in this monologue, delivered in an inarticulate and confused way because of her excitement, she tells her boss why she thinks the book is great and empowered her. At the end, we never actually really know if she is just pretending or if she is actually passionate about it..
