The boot-strappy resilience and tenacity of this man is wonderful. See my earlier post on my meeting with him, where we discuss the future, past and present "garment center" and his work, in particular.

Thank you for writing this post. I've had dinner with Leonard many times at a mutual friends apartment, and never knew about his writing.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! How great to see the creative side of someone you already knew...
DeleteGood for him. He sounds very disciplined and determined. He sounds as if he'd be very funny to talk to. Of course, having a day job helps, even as it hinders.
ReplyDeleteActually, I once heard a quote that only something like 200 people in the U.S. are able to support themselves solely from their writing.
