“I definitely want to do a book set in L.A. Even though the book is long since completed, O’Malley is still looking around the place with a curatorial eye. I met up with O’Malley, native Canadian turned four-year Los Angeles resident, in a sleepy, overgrown patio of a Silver Lake cafe, which bore more than a passing spiritual resemblance to Seconds’s titular restaurant. It’s part cautionary fable, part second-coming-of-age drama, wistfully nostalgic while never shying away from the rough patches on the road from “adulthood” to adulthood. The stand-alone volume follows Katie, a successful young chef approaching her 30th year, whose career crisis becomes supernaturally compounded by the arrival of a mysterious spirit and a crop of magical, time-turning mushrooms. On July 15, comics auteur and Internet folk hero Bryan Lee O’Malley will release Seconds, the long awaited follow-up to his cultishly adored Scott Pilgrim series.
