My uncle
Hey, I read this book when I was a teenager - my uncle is the one who wrote it and it's dedicated to my father. At any rate, the story is how it is seen by the writer.

Armchair psychologist!!!,

The author here comes off as the worst sort of
armchair psychologist, giving all sorts of "facts" about why Hank did things, much as Goldman did in his books about Elvis and John Lennon. I find this sort of writing repulsive and unacceptable. It's like reading an episode of "Behind The Music" which was written by a guy in polyester pants and a nylon shirt with plastic pearl buttons who's just scored himself an "A" in Psychology101. Woo hoo buddy. High fives.
