This is not a very likely story; like I say, it’s fiction.

   At the beginning of the book “O.J.” is someone who has escaped from the Fall. “Nicole” regularly accuses him of all kinds of things but as these are in general rather absurd this has no effect. It seems she doesn’t really want to be taken seriously… But in 1989 it goes wrong.  In the eyes of the world his pleading “no contest” in that trial was a confession.

   Still, he doesn’t make a big deal out of it. Later “Nicole” says this has been the turning point in their marriage… you could say it was the beginning of his downfall.

   When the story reaches 1994 the devil, played by Fenjves, comes into action. He wants for him now to confess to a brutal double murder… “O.J.” is put under terrible pressure and when he starts to cave in the author, playing the part of his subconscious, reminds him of how, as an adolescent, he escaped from the Fall – does he want to surrender now?

 

    “O.J.” never really understood what he was doing back then, he didn’t know his motives, so whether this warning helped I don’t know. He does tell the story but the devil cannot make him leave out “keep in mind, this is hypothetical” and he puts in a lot of impossible things; but he knows people will take it as a confession anyway. So now “O.J.” starts to play the murderer ““O.J.””. He tries to work him self up to a state of anger, and give himself a somewhat plausible motive. Some of that anger, I suppose, is “O.J.”’s own anger about being forced to confess, you can feel the pressure he is under.

   “Acting is re-acting” as Rod Steiger said, and here you see what Mr. Fenjves’ most important function has been.

   But when it comes to actually committing the crime, “O.J.” cannot make ““O.J.”” do it. Unlike the guy playing him he is not such a great actor, he cannot make ““O.J.”” that different from himself; moreover, I don’t think he wants to give a detailed description of that crime. So you get the before and the after the event, but not the event itself.
