Don’t worry: this volume, which completes the metamemoir trilogy that began with An Old Junker, a coming-of-old-age novel of ideas distillled from the blog the author kept, 2006–2010, and continued with Dear, Howard, a graphic novel of midlife crisis, compiling the postcards he received, 1982–1986, does not present the totality of Junker’s late-sixties journalism, it merely extracts the key lines and graphs from that oeuvre.
The idea is a montage that tells the story of a youth going to the big city—actually, he already lived there—to find his fortune, that is, to get published, that is, to establish his byline.
