He is now retired and has “found peace and contentment at a lovely trailer park in Florida.” New Directions publishes his novels Love Junkie and My Search for Warren Harding, described by Danzy Senna in the foreword as “one of the best, and most invigorating books I’d read in years, and certainly the funniest.”
