The Kitchen Readings

by Michael Cleverly

  —William McKeen, author of Outlaw Journalist and Highway 61

  “Owl Farm really was the headquarters for the craziness and constant activity that was Hunter’s life, and Cleverly and Braudis were flies on the wall for many of the most memorable high jinks. But more than that, they were also there when Hunter let down his guard. Hunter really was an inexplicable paradox—both self-consumed yet often extremely generous and sensitive—and Cleverly and Braudis captured that perfectly in their book. A triumphant tribute to a great friend.”

  —Tracy Keenan Wynn, Emmy Award–winning screenwriter
