  • Hatless Jack is the story of the decline of the men's hat industry, as told through the life of John F. Kennedy. The Boston Globe called it a "fascinating sociological story." Drunkard is a memoir of his arrest for domestic battery and his struggle with alcoholism. The New York Post called it "at once hysterically funny and cringe inducing." You Were Never in Chicago is a memoir of life as an outsider in the city. Roger Ebert called it "wonderful" and "poetic".
