Stone Cold

New York Times BestsellerThe enterprising Larry Wyler, settled in St. Paul with his beloved Iris, sits upstairs and writes stories and lands one in The New Yorker. When his first novel, Spacious skies, becomes a hit, he leaves and buys a Manhattan apartment and moves into an office at "The New Yorker" among writers he admires. Wylers followup novel bombs badly and out of nowhere come an invitation to write a newspaper column, "Ask Mr. Blue" -- a low rung on the literary ladder. As he doles out wisdom he slowly, painfully finds a measure of clarity for his own life.
