The Man Who Signed the City: Portraits of Remarkable People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781686381232)

A historian of freak shows. A painter of fish. A biophysicist studying cancer. A deaf boxer. A humorist who once tried to ski up out of a ditch. A thoroughbred trainer and a poker-playing computer scientist and an anthropologist who says there's no such thing as American cuisine. Writers, musicians, a championship swim coach, an expert on serial killers, and a sign painter. Veteran journalist and essayist Dale Keiger has written about them all and more. The Man Who Signed the City collects 21 of his best profiles in an anthology that spans 35 years and includes pieces on humorist Roy Blount Jr.; pianist Leon Fleisher; an English professor who has toured with Bjork; and the world's foremost jazz timpanist.
