In this case, SF just indulges in his situation in the mid 1990's, but doesn't tell us how he fished himself out of the mess, which would be nice to know. He also offers few insights. "One Star" according to Karene. Didn't enjoy this book - thought he came across as a pompous, self obsessed individual.
