On occasion he'd share an open mic night with Michael Konik, who offered a curious and sympathetic ear, particularly when the Fisher King lamented his separation from his wife (who he claimed was Selena Gomez). As the pair began to trust one another, confusion and distance gave way to something that astounded them both. The Unexpected Guest gives love profound new dimensions with its story of family, friendship, and the meaning of home. Konik offered food and a pair of pants when his new friend came by, and wondered how much he owed the troubled Fisher King -- a question all of America faces with the nation's ongoing homelessness crisis. When Konik and his wife gave Fisher King Mike a place in their home, handy as he turned out to be with household projects, they witnessed a guest become a caretaker. Gone was the man who gave sermons about his supposed estate next door to Kanye West. Gone was the man drifting through life. What each never saw coming was their own transformation and the lessons they'd learn about what it means not only to be good people, but simply to be human. --cover 600 10 $a Bailey, Michael James, $v Biography. 650 0 $a Homeless men $z Los Angeles. $z Los Angeles. 650 0 $a Homelessness $z Los Angeles. $z Los Angeles. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210619010053.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210512010136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=53784594B2E711EBB11E7CB730ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
