Right behind the door, there is a woman waiting for the dead man, her relentless critic, the author she admires, her boozing mate, and mostly the man she is in love with. Incisively resisting to McCarthy’s examiners saying “I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year’s fashions”, Lillian Helman, one of the prominent authors of American literature, remembers herself as a child challenging a group of man in a tram just to sit with her vivacious nanny, her bohemian life pushing the boundaries, her authorship becoming ambitious and skilful, in the very last hours of Dashiel Hammett, lapsed in a coma, leading author of crime novels. In this parade of remembering, perhaps, only love is much stronger than the death.
