Thirty-five years ago, I was one of the unhappiest lads in New York. I was selling motor trucks for a living. I didn’t know what made a motor-truck run. That wasn’t all: I didn’t want to know. I despised my job. I despised living in a cheap furnished room on West Fifty-sixth Street, a room infested with cockroaches.
And I still remember that I had a bunch of neckties hanging on the walls, and when I reached out of a morning to get a fresh necktie, the cockroaches scattered in all directions; I despised having to eat in cheap, dirty restaurants that were also probably infested with cockroaches.
I came home to my lonely room each night with a sick headache-a headache bred and fed by disappointment, worry, bitterness, and rebellion. And I was rebelling because the dreams I had nourished back in my college days had turned into nightmares. Was this life? Was this the vital adventure to which I had looked forward so eagerly?
And was this all life would ever mean to me-working at a job I despised, living with cockroaches, eating vile food-and with no hope for the future? I longed for leisure to read and to write the books I had dreamed of writing back in my college days. And I knew I had everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving up the job I despised.
