This should be interesting, but the WSJ article says the book was turned down by some publishers because it was too “idiosyncratic.”
Tom Perkins is one of the founders of the well-known Silicon Valley venture capital firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. He is also the ex-husband of Danielle Steel. (They were married 17 months.)

Hey Matt Marshall & Lynne Jolitz, LIGHTEN UP!
Perkin’s writing is DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAINING. He is humorous, the story engaging and interesting, his style reminds me of several of my favorites, Gerry Spence, Lawrence Durrell, GB Shaw & Somerset Maughn. {Gee whiz, do locals find it difficult to recognize GENIUS in their own Home Town?] Write on Perkins!
