‘Sideways’ Sequel?
Novelist Rex Pickett was interviewed by San Francisco
Chronicle staff writer W. Blake Gray in January. He
asked Pickett if his next novel might be a ‘Sideways’
sequel. He said that he frequently gets asked this
question and many people want to see the Jack and
Miles characters come alive again. Pickett’s agents
have discouraged it, but he may be leaning that way. If
he does it, he plans to reverse them. Pickett said,
“Miles is like me. In ‘98 when I wrote this, I had process
servers at my door. What if Miles is a novelist and a
success? What if Jack is divorced and a failure?”
