PIONEERS Historical cemetery tour of Whiskeytown By Frazier Moore APTelevisionWriter NEWYORK Not long ago, 2 percent of the world's pop- ulation vanished. Quietly, instantly, with no provo- cation. This unfathomable loss continues to haunt all those left behind, includ- ing residents of the small New York town that serves as the setting for "The Left- overs," HBO's eerie new drama premiering Sunday at 10 p.m. EDT. The 10-episode series brushes over the semi- nal event, picking up the story as the third anniver- sary of the Sudden Depar- ture nears. It finds the lo- cals (played by a cast that includes Justin Theroux, Amy Brenneman, Chris Eccleston, Carrie Coon, Liv Tyler and Michael Gas- ton) mired in grief, bewil- derment and discord. "They have to find a way to come together, but some people are going to be able to achieve that — and oth- ers aren't," says Damon Lindelof. "The Leftovers" was co-created by Lindelof (of ABC's "Lost") and Tom Per- rotta (who wrote the novel that inspired it). Earlier this week they joined an Associated Press reporter to discuss their new proj- ect. Perrotta: "It's a different kind of apocalyptic story, because the physical world remains intact. It deals with the psychological ad- justment to trauma. It fol- lows what people make of this mysterious, traumatic event, which doesn't fit into either a scientific or reli- gious framework." Lindelof: "Some peo- ple just try to go back to the way things were be- fore this thing happened. Other people say, 'This was a sign. I can't con- tinue to operate the same way, now that this cosmic event has occurred.' The opportunity we had was to write a show with char- acters who, in wildly differ- ent ways, were trying to get on with their lives. This al- lows us to execute a genre show that doesn't feel like a genre show: The only piece of genre happened three years ago, leaving all the characters now to filter their world through the very strange prism it created." Perrotta: "After all, how long can they discuss this thing that has no answers? No one has anything new to add to the conversation. In fact, the Guilty Rem- nants" — a nihilistic cult that wears spectral white, chain-smokes and never speaks — "has adopted a vow of silence in part be- cause they feel there's nothing to say." Lindelof: "This is not a meditation on grief, per se. But everybody on the show is suffering some kind of post-traumatic stress. Even if they're pretending not to still be affected, there's now a part of them where, if the friend you were just talking to has stepped around the corner out of sight, you're programmed to go, 'Oh, my God, it's just happened again!'" Here in Mapleton, and around the world, the "leftovers" are dogged by the same awful unknowns about those who disap- peared: What happened to them on that Oct. 14 up- heaval? Where have they gone? And why them? What underlying com- mon denominator could possibly link a local in- fant named Sam with Sha- quille O'Neal and Gary Busey among the millions plucked from sight as if at random? Don't come to "The Left- overs" expecting anyone to learn why. Including you. Lindelof: "If you were to read Tom's book, within the first 50 pages it would become clear that he has no interest whatsoever in resolving the issue of the departure. That's not the story we're telling here, ei- ther." And this stands as one of many differences between "The Leftovers" and "Lost," Lindelof's monumental thriller that kept viewers breathless for an explana- tion — which they finally got, sort of — of the fate of the passengers of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 after its crash landing on a remote tropical island. Lindelof: "On 'Lost,' right out of the gate, John Locke is saying, 'We were brought here for a reason. I'm going into the jungle and seek out the answers.' Not on this show." Perrotta: "I still don't have the answers! In the world and in this com- munity, there's a breaking down and there's a com- ing together, simultane- ously, and we're trying to show both processes — and it gets pretty messy. But the audience, like the charac- ters, is always operating in- side the mystery. There's no getting outside of it."

By Hillel Italie AP National Writer NEW YORK Sales for Hill- ary Rodham Clinton's "Hard Choices" dropped sharply in its second week of publication, but her memoir remains the coun- try's most popular adult nonfiction book. According to Nielsen BookScan numbers re- leased Wednesday, "Hard Choices" sold just over 48,000 copies last week, compared to around 85,000 the previous week. The figures do not in- clude e-book sales. Pub- lisher Simon & Schuster, which had announced that total first-week sales exceeded 100,000 copies, declined Wednesday to of- fer any numbers on the sec- ond week. Simon & Schuster is- sued a statement Tues- day saying that "Hard Choices" was placing high on best-seller lists around the world, although the publisher offered few spe- cific numbers. "We can think of no other recent book written by an American leader to receive such an enthusi- astic international recep- tion," Jonathan Karp, pres- ident and publisher of Si- mon & Schuster, said in a statement. "Hard Choices," which covers Clinton's four years as secretary of state, was released June 10. It has been among the most publicized books of the year, with an advance print run of 1 million cop- ies, and is easily outselling such popular nonfiction works as Thomas Piket- ty's "Capital In the Twenty- First Century." W h e t h e r " H a r d Choices," the fourth best- selling book overall on the Nielsen chart, can be called a success or dis- appointment depends on your perspective. Sales are far behind the pace of her previous mem- oir, "Living History," which came out in 2003 and sold around 600,000 copies its first week. But "Living History" had a stronger commer- cial hook — Clinton's thoughts on President Bill Clinton's affair with White House intern Mon- ica Lewinsky — and was published at a time when e-books were almost non- existent and there were hundreds more physical book stores. Releases such as Clin- ton's, a 600-plus page nonfiction work focused on foreign policy, tend to sell much better in paper editions than as e-books. Much of the pre-publi- cation interest in "Hard Choices" centered on whether she would indi- cate if she were running for president in 2016. She writes in the book, and has said in interviews, that she remains undecided.
