...They are self-inventories, cabinets into which he stuffs his own life. Now 62, he has always boxed himself into his own world. He has never been overseas, hardly ever wanders far from his white-shingled, blue-trimmed family house near the end of the Utopia Parkway in a quiet area of Queens in New York City.
