Swanky New York townhouse? Not a bit of it. It’s Joe.My.God‘s post office.

When I was in law school — I turned thirty during first year — Louis Auchincloss was my model. A successful Wall Street attorney, he cranked out novels that were taken seriously, however grudgingly, by the literary establishment. In the event, I would not become a successful lawyer, and I would not crank out novels. But he remained my model just the same.
