THE NEW NOVEL BY PAUL CHITLIK

LIES, ALL LIES

There I stood, all five eight of me, poolside at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, soaking wet in my retro bathing suit, holding a dry pair of tickets to the Emmys that night, in front of a gorgeous woman, and I didn’t know who I was, where I was, or why I was. Or, just as importantly, who she was and what she was to me.

Over the course of the next few days I discovered I was a thirty-something Emmy winning writer-actor showrunning a popular sitcom, but I had to learn about that one detail at a time until my memory came back. Then I realized I could be anyone I wanted to be, but I had to decide who that was and what that would mean for my girlfriend, my wife, my kids, my father, my brother, my cast, my agent, my PR maven, my assistant, and a 135 other people who depended on me for their livelihoods or their lives.

I had the opportunity to change my life completely, and I did, eventually doing something real for other people while my gay sitcom character came out as straight and flipped the script on my show and my life.

PAUL CHITLIK

Paul Chitlik didn’t write and direct his first play until he was eleven, considered somewhat late by many studio and network executives barely out of their teens.  But then, he was born in Cleveland. 

When he moved to California at the age of thirteen, he built his own skateboard out of a piece of 2X4, an old skate, and a scrap of carpet.  Years later, he became ASB president so he could kiss the homecoming queen.  It worked… once.  The joys of politics.

 As a college student, he went to Spain to study at the University of Madrid and trace his Hispanic roots.  There, he also published his first work in any language – a Spanish poem.
