First Line

In 1909 I was one of the unhappiest lads in New York. I was selling motor trucks for a living. I didn't know what made a motor truck run. That wasn't all: I didn't want to know. I despised my job. I despised living in a cheap furnished room on West Fifty-sixth Street--a room infested with cockroaches. I still remember I had a bunch of neckties hanging on the walls; and when I reached out of a morning to get a fresh necktie, the roaches scattered in all directions. I despised having to eat in cheap, dirty restaurants that were also probably infested with cockroaches.
