A Fine Madness

Samson Shillitoe finds A Fine Madness in a world he understands all to well. An unexpected poet, the gruff Shillitoe upsets his wife, his landlord, his boss, a lawyer, a psychologist, a cop, and every woman he meets in this cockamamy tale. But one of the most interesting parts is the way Baker tells the story. He writes it like a narrator following, not one character, but different charcters at different times. A bit sexy at some times, but great book for any poet. Also a movie.
