Baby Driver, by Jan. That must have been written before their reconciliation, before he finally admitted paternity. In that book he the old drunk her mother was always waiting to hear from.
Remember "sullen girl" from litkicks? Anyway it sounds like an interesting documentry.

Anne Charters book is the only biography I have read on him. She was pretty tolerant, said he was a gentlemen about it, she only had to tell him No twice. Her description of his calls from the house in Florida to Carolyn. The last call she pretended they had a bad connection, she couldn't hear him.

I think Ms. Charters' account of Jk is as objective as it is because they never slept together....
