The Butler, a Metaphor of a Butler

"I became obsessed with the butler as a metaphor for two things, a certain kind of em afrostiness. The english butler has to be terribly reserved and not have any personal reaction to anything that happens around him." "He also apparently wrote this book in like, a four week what he calls a crash. He was hed writers block, and he somehow convinced his wife to let him have no other responsibilities for four weeks except writing this book".
