Michigan Avenue, 1951

One man's memoir about a decade
in Chicago.  One story that's a hundred stories, about:

-- The Great American Novel that
never got written--

-- A young writer's introduction
to big-agency advertising--

-- Ads and commercials and
clients and bosses--

-- Hits and misses and triumphs
and catastrophies--

-- A lovely young lady who became
a supportive wife and mother--

-- Three young sons who kept both
parents hopping--

-- Garrets and apartments and
dream houses in the suburbs--

-- And an interesting look at America
in the '50's from a front-row seat in the advertising that helped propel
it.  How it worked and didn't work,
scored and struck out, rewarded and punished, and just about everything else.
