Hard-Boiled Egg (1995)

Alex has little luck writing the novels in his head, despite their vividness. His main character, Simon, is a pulp-fiction-like detective, complete with red trenchcoat and fedora. As he lives his daily life, he keeps up a running mental conversation with the tough, cool Simon.
