Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I got a call from a man named Clark who said he was a freelance central banker. He told me he'd never gone to high school, but that he collected modern art. He asked for the number of my fax machine so he could send me copies of the recipes. #2 I met Clark, the dog menu editor, and he seemed to like me. He spoke with an accent, and occasionally tossed in a word that seemed to tie a bow on the sentence. I judged his peculiar manner to be the product of a profoundly insulated upbringing. #3 I had to meet Clark in person, and he was not done trying to impress me. He told me that he lived next door to Tony Bennett, whom he could hear rehearsing through the walls at night. He told me that he had degrees from Harvard and Yale, and that he could sing the words to any song I named to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme. #4 I had come to Montana to report on a religious cult that was preparing for Armageddon. I'd lived there for five years, and now I had a baby coming. I had done things my way, and now I needed a change.
