Being a writer became synonymous, for me, with New York City (which was synonymous with Robert De Niro) and also with my assumption that I’d know more people like Nelson, who seemed filled with self-assurance. I had never met a man who wore two scarves, twined together like a twist ice cream cone—in clashing colors, no less. I was grateful that Nelson had not jumped to a more likely possibility—one I’d heard mentioned by my mother: that I should be a librarian.
