How did a kid whose dad lived in the poorhouse become the most successful storyteller in the world? 520 $a James Patterson's best stories are the stories of his own life. On the morninhg he was born, he nearly died. His dad grew up in the Pogey--the Newburgh, New York, poorhouse. He worked at a mental hospital in Massachusetts, where he met the singer James Taylor and the poet Robert Lowell. While he toiled in advertising hell, James wrote the ad jingle line "I'm a Toys 'R'Us kid." He once watched James Baldwin and Norman Mailer square off to trade punches at a party. He's been in love only twice--both times amazing. Dolly Parton once sang "Happy Birthday" to James over the phone. She calls him J.J., for Jimmy James. -- $c From dust jacket. 600 10 $a Patterson, James, $d 1947- 650 0 $a Authors, American $v Biography. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Literary Figures. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Patterson, James, $d 1947- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00028176 650 7 $a Authors, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 $a American authors $v Biography. $2 sears 655 0 $a Autobiographies. 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423876 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 941 $a 3 952 $l WFPC115 $d 20240327133719.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015040.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230606011146.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7CBF1950042F11EE896B6DEA35ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
