Chapter 2

In this chapter we meet Josh Siegel, a 38 year old writer of holocaust novels. Josh has grown up living a lonely life with only his sister who he isn't even that close with. As Josh approaches the middle age he comes to an idea of having an assistant. Siegel decides he cannot have a female intern for everyone of them seems to fall in love with him or sexual desires get in the way of work. A number of men come in for interviews with outstanding recommendations, but none of them make the cut for Josh. With each assistant Siegel finds they are shown to the door by the end of the day. Not one intern has worked for him until Siegel comes to the realization he wasn't just looking for an assistant, he was looking for someone who could outlive him.
