Twenty years later, Frey sees himself as a maverick and dismisses the controversy with a string of expletives. "We've all been told to be polite, to be good little boys, to go to college and follow the rules," Frey told me from his extra-large mohair Eames chair, which he had custom-made so that he could sit in lotus pose. "Not me."
And the bookstore in "Storybook Ending" is based on a real Seattle bookstore - which one and why? Ravenna Third Place Books - because that's my bookstore, because I live nearby and I've been going there for a very long time. That's where I go to buy books, where I go to browse the shelves, where I go to meet my friends for lunch or for a drink downstairs in the pub, and I just love the feel of that place. I love bookstores in general - but that one, I thought I would like to immortalize it a little bit.

We had to decide which books characters bought in Thailand, and how many books they brought from home]. Like for Piper [Sarah Catherine Hook; arguably the show's most literary character], I was buying from the local bookstores in Durham and Chapel Hill. Like the university bookshops, the university press. And putting their bookmarks in her books. That's an amazing attention to detail. And I'd never stayed at a Four Seasons hotel until we started filming at one, and if you have a book out—and you know I had six or so books on my bedside table and when I'd come back at night, each one of them would have a Four Seasons bookmark in them. So we stole that idea, too. We made White Lotus bookmarks and stuck them in books around the hotel.
