He’s an over-imaginative
under-active intellectual
orbiting in his flux between
failure and perceptions of glory–
Believing himself to be brilliant–
Forever at the cusp of breakthrough–
But tragically foiled by simpletons

Great book

One of my favourite books and great story behind the book. Thanks for this, Harlon
absolutely, Harlon.
