EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: NAVIGATE THE STREETS OF “RAT PARK” WITH WME HEAD OF STORY ADAM NOVAK
By KEVIN HOOVER
To quote Stephen King, “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.” For the money, you won’t find an individual who does more of either than Adam Novak. While Novak moonlights as an author of the brilliantly bizarre, he keeps the bills paid by serving as the “Head of Story” for William Morris Endeavor (formerly the William Morris Agency). For the past thirty years, he’s been a part of most folk’s movie-watching experiences, having been the personal script reader for the likes of John Travolta and Bruce Willis. And when a little indie film named the Blair Witch Project needed all the advocacy it could muster, Novak was one of its most vocal supporters.
Novak’s newest book, Rat Park, reads as, “An L.A. power couple orders an A.I. sex robot to escape their marital prison. When androids keep showing up uninvited to their house in the Hollywood Hills, they save the world from a violent robopocalypse and rescue their marriage.” The author has been keeping busy with public appearances and readings in support of the novel, and so well received it’s been that the tale is now being reproduced in audiobook format by the team at Encyclopocalypse Publications. The author took some time out of his busy schedule to discuss his latest work.
