HIS BEST STORIES ARE THE STORIES OF HIS LIFE
His father grew up in a New York poorhouse called the 'Pogie'
He worked at a psychiatric hospital where he met the singer James Taylor and the poet Robert Lowell. Both were patients
He was at Woodstock and was also an usher at the Fillmore East
He was CEO of advertising agency J. Walter Thompson North America when he was thirty-seven. He wrote the ad jingle, 'I'm a Toys 'R' Us Kid'
He once watched Norman Mailer and James Baldwin square off to fight
He's played golf with three US presidents and has nine holes-in-one
Dolly Parton sang Happy Birthday to him over the phone. She calls him Jimmy James
James says, 'I always wanted to write the kind of novel that is read and re-read so many times the binding breaks, and the book literally falls apart, pages scattered in the wind. I'm still working on that one.'
