Her last best seller, “The Plot,” plumbed the depths of a middling novelist’s career, showing how far he’d go for a hit. Her new novel, “The Sequel,” picks up where that one left off, but from the perspective of the novelist’s widow, Anna Williams-Bonner, who’s written a book of her own. As she’s traveling the country, hopscotching from festival to bookstore to hotel room, she realizes that her new career isn’t the blank slate she’d hoped for … because somebody knows her secret back story. Will Anna’s debut double as a finale? As sequels go, Korelitz’s is remarkably independent. You don’t need to cram “The Plot” to get your bearings, but you might want to just for fun. </span><a href="https://nl.nytimes.com/f/newsletter/FhUwgYlymOCwTJ1wfm94Mw~~/AAAAAQA~/RgRo5PV5P0TqaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8xMC8wMS9ib29rcy9yZXZpZXcvdGhlLXNlcXVlbC1qZWFuLWhhbmZmLWtvcmVsaXR6Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDI0MTAwNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMzYxNjAmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD0yMDg2NzIzMTYmc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNzk3MjYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPTdiMGIyYTM4ZWQwZTg0OGZjMzMzZmQ4OTA4YjlkMGI2VwNueXRCCmb7eXACZxzldHJSFXZhY25jYWJvYXJkQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~" class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">Read our review of “The Sequel” here</a><span>.</span></p><h2 style="color:#000;font:700 24px/31px nyt-cheltenham,georgia,serif;margin:0 0 10px"><span>More on books</span></h2><div style="margin:0 auto;max-width:600px;width:100%"><table><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0 0 5px"><ul class="css-14t63jt" style="color:#333;font:10px georgia,serif;text-align:left;padding-left:50px"><li style="margin:0 0 10px 0;line-height:27.5px"><span style="font-size:17px;line-height:25px;vertical-align:middle">As a literary agent, Betsy Lerner is well acquainted with the foibles of novelists.

His memoir, “Sonny Boy,” will be published Oct. 15.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span style="font-weight:700">I saw an interview with you a couple of years ago in which you mentioned that you’d been asked to write a book. You said you didn’t want to because the prospect seemed torturous. What changed?</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Nothing. I regret it. Who needs to be out and about in this world, putting yourself up as another target? I mean, waking up in the middle of the night, having tremors — you break out in a cold sweat thinking, </span><span style="font-style:italic">I shouldn’t have done this.</span><span> But I was telling the truth. That’s all I know.</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span style="font-weight:700">You must get directors who have said to you, thinking about other performances you’ve done, something to the effect of, “Give me more Al Pacino.” What do you think they’re looking for?</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>Go louder. [Laughs.] I couldn’t tell you. Nobody’s ever said that. They did say things to me in the theater, and I had to adjust. One director came up to me once, when I was young, and he says, “The character did this, and then he’s feeling this way here, and he does this.” So I said to him, “You seem to really relate to this person.” He said, “What?” I said, “Maybe </span><span style="font-style:italic">you</span><span> should play him.” Dead silence. I don’t like that kind of talk. A director who’s directing you and is helping you with your part is telling you how to do it? I don’t understand that. Then why did you cast me in the first place?</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span style="font-weight:700">What’s a great note you got from a director?</span></p><p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px"><span>One of the best notes I ever got was from Lee Strasberg when we were doing “… And Justice for All.” I was doing a scene, and Lee leaned over.
