Sol Stein came into riverrun with a whole string of compliments for Frank Scioscia and riverrun.A whole string of compliments is also appropriate for Stein himself.
He told me tantalizing bits of lots of stories. He told of Stein and Day, where he was publisher and editor-in-chief for almost 30 years. He talked about WWII, where Stein was an insider - even winning a bet with Dwight D. Eisenhower. He told stories of authors and great book collections. He talked about political leaders and about his grandchildren.
Unfortunately time was short. He promised more details at the next visit. I'm looking forward to it.
