"I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun. I put them on and went out of the room."

Dan Elkind's DR. CHIZHEVSKY'S CHANDELIER is terrific. If you're in Atlanta on Oct 18 you should go to A Cappella Books to hear him talk about it.
