A writer writes, but there’s no evidence that Joanna Rakoff can even type when she takes the job as an assistant working for literary agent Phyllis Westberg in “.” Because Rakoff went on to pen a book-length memoir about her time working for Westberg, who represented reclusive writer J.D.
To that end, it presents the period of Joanna’s entry-level dues-paying as a kind of bohemian bliss. She left her boyfriend in Berkeley and headed east to Manhattan, crashing with a friend at first, before shacking up with some guy she meets in a socialist bookstore . Together they rent a run-down apartment for $560 a month . They go to poetry nights at the Panama Café and hold hands. He types his novel on a primitive computer, while she … well, she doesn’t write. Not really.
Falardeau gives faces to these strangers, misfits all, staging little vignettes in which they dictate their letters in their natural environment . Joanna is frustrated that she’s forbidden from sending more personal replies and breaks the rules at a certain point, with unexpected consequences. But apart from this tiny transgression, she’s too vanilla to be a very interesting character.
