“Gee willikers, sure hope somebody will show up to my launch book signing party.” Les’ cloying humility is sufficient to melt the hearts of his two groupies, who, heads tilted, gaze at him in adoration. Silly Les. Even now, they are lining up around the block to pay tribute to Westview’s answer to George Bailey, “the richest man in town”.  Wait until the folks learn that they have to buy a book and a large pizza in order to meet the Delicate Genius.
