I'll See You In The Margins

George was a middle-aged, chain-smoking, chain-reading, retired concrete salesman who mowed through a book a day, held court all night at IHOP, and corrected Vanderbilt professors at free public lectures. Jon was a philosophy student working part-time at the library when he first met the Zorba-like patron who dubbed himself "The Great Nonsuch." Through unpredictable conversations and comical letters-where topics drifted from Flannery O'Connor to 1970s wrestling icon Jackie Fargo, from cult leader Tony Alamo to philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein-George and Jon became the best of friends. Set in Nashville during the late '80s and '90s, I'll See You in the Margins is a rollicking memoir about a curbstone philosopher, an unlikely friendship, and Music City on the cusp of transformation.
