Leonard's copy is as follows: "Remember Chili Palmer in
GET
SHORTY? He's back in my new book, BE COOL, and he's wearing
his
favorite dress shirt, a silky cotton Pinpoint.
"This time around Chili's in the music business. He's
managing a
rock band while looking for a movie idea. It's a scene where
the
prevailing style, the dress code, is grunge. Look like you do
yard
work for a living but drive a Rolls.
"Chili is neither impressed nor intimidated. He's a
style-setter, not one to follow the crowd. That's how I see
him in
the book, a man with his own perception of what's cool, never
afraid
to be himself. A Pinpoint man."
Well, I'll be happy to read another Leonard book about Chili
Palmer,
anyway.
