A playwright-turned-copywriter gets an unexpected shot at a dream he had let die, and it feels good. But what of friendship? What of art? What of the Daodejing? In an Austin hotel lobby where self-help podcasters, zombies, and Sumerian priests come and go, “Death of a Hollywood Screenwriter” explores these questions, and also asks: When is trying to get a gold star worth the best years of your life?
