Funny, I am very aware of the book, (which had a brief vogue of actually being sold in Starbucks), but was never
aware of the seedier side of Michael Gill’s biography.
The reviews glossed over most of what this post detailed.
Picked up this book because I’m in the coffee shop business and thought it was a bunch of liberal guilt trip crap. It was a combination of Sally Fields “They really like me!!” and the guilty white liberals perspective that the young minority workers are sooo much more capable. Bullocks. Don’t feel sorry for adulterers reaping what they sow and looking for sympathy.
