The Jonathan Ames you may love and know is not only out with a new book but also a new series on HBO which is a spin-off from his real life, featuring Jason Schwartzman as Jonathan Ames (how’s that for awesome casting), a writer who has just been dumped by his girlfriend and is unable to crack into his second novel.
Instead of getting down to business, he instead forges ahead with his fantasy of becoming a private detective, emulating the novels he reads.
In addition to writing the show, Ames has a blog where he goes into each episode and adds lovely behind the scene commentary (alright lovely might be the wrong word choice here) like the time he ran out of toilet paper and didn’t even have free napkins, but did end up finding some coffee filters…..you get the idea.
