That changed. · He worked at a mental hospital in Massachusetts, where he met the singer James Taylor and the poet Robert Lowell. · While he toiled in advertising hell, James wrote the ad jingle line "I'm a Toys 'R' Us Kid." · He once watched James Baldwin and Norman Mailer square off to trade punches at a party. · He's only been in love twice. Both times are amazing. · Dolly Parton once sang "Happy Birthday" to James over the phone. She calls him J.J., for Jimmy James. · Three American presidents have invited him to golf with them. ° 368 Pages ° Little, Brown and Company 2022 ° Hardcover
