P.S. ... But you will probably recognize a fair dose of me in Pete, and maybe even Bobby. I'm not sure about that.

Just looked through what I sent. I realized the parts I put off writing were all the tragic part. I can tell you what happens though, in some detail. Fiction writing is weird. The attachment to characters, maybe for the resemblances to people I have known. Your eyes are unclouded by that. Thanks.

On screenplay possibilities, however remote, keep in mind that the movie Elmer Gantry doesn't even use the first half of the book. And most of the theological elements are very sketching in the movie. I think the agents hated the theological aspect of mine. They may be right as the story goes.

About to email it. My daughter was in town, so I haven't refreshed my memory on what exactly I'm sending. Agents had different suggestions that had me moving some chapters around, so some may have left some out of place. The conclusion was the last thing I wrote. It may or may not work ultimately.

When Bob Dylan's 2026 European tour hit Killarney, Ireland, he treated the crowd to the first live version of 'The Lakes of Pontchartrain' since 1991.

I found the manuscript including the last chapter. I also found some segments of missing chapters, but the manuscript is the finished part (244 pages). Do you want to read it?

‘Medicare for All’ still big. “In a survey of 1,207 likely voters [from] Nov. 14–17, 2025, ...65% of voters [supported] a Medicare for All system, described as a ‘national health insurance program... that would cover [everyone] & replace... private health insurance...’" jacobin.com/2025/11/medi...
Medicare for All Disappeared. Its Popularity Didn’t.
The demand for Medicare for All went from the center of the discourse to political exile in record time. But the policy's popularity never faded. A new poll finds strong majority support for the neglected idea among Americans across the political spectrum.

Anyone have a guess on why Democratic Party leadership has not long since unified around Medicare for All?

Most agents only sign writers who already have "platforms." I think the story would make for a good screenplay. Same subject matter as Elmer Gantry except my " evangelist Bobby Sterling" is a true teacher among false ones. The opposite of the Elmer Gantry story.

Love your faith in me. I wrote a novel all but where I kill off the main character, but the NYC lit agents didn't bite. A couple flirted. Three different openings and stuff in the trash as a result. Might have been cultural. Set in a church environment. Maybe I should dig that back up instead.
