'The Whole Wide World'
In the early 1930s, a spirited, independent young schoolteacher called Novalyne Price meets Robert E. Howard, a pulp novelist who still lives at home, and who has his own brand of personality pyrotechnics. They don't seem matched for each other; but Novalyne is drawn to Bob's passion for writing.
The creator of such popular series as "Conan the Barbarian" reads his overwrought melodramas with such
fire, she's completely transported. Over the years, they develop a stormy, on-again-off-again relationship. Bob's overbearing personality is difficult to handle, and he's practically housebound because of his writing
schedule and his undying devotion to his mother. He's provoked by Novalyne's academic position in life; he
believes teachers destroy individual creative impulses in children. -- Desson Howe
