As Wall Street and publishing circles know by now, Smith is really George J.W. Good man, 38, a former Rhodes scholar, journalist (TIME, FORTUNE), novelist and screenwriter (The Wheeler Dealers).

But then Mosby decides that his memoir needs a touch of humor...
MARY ELLMANN, a free-lance writer and critic married to the distinguished Joyce scholar Richard Ellmann, has written about the sexual analogies that permeate everyone's thinking, much to our tedium. Loosely constructed, confused, unfortunately titled, the book still manages to amuse as it meanders through various conceptions of femininity and their relationship to criticism and fiction...
