While he toiled in advertising hell, James wrote the ad jingle line “I’m a Toys ‘R’ Us Kid.”He once watched James Baldwin and Norman Mailer square off to trade punches at a party.He’s only been in love twice. Both times are amazing.Dolly Parton once sang “Happy Birthday” to James over the phone. She calls him J.J., for Jimmy James. How did a boy from small-town New York become the world’s most successful writer? How does he do it?
