Chapter 1 A piece of advice: If you ever follow someone in my neighborhood, don't wear pink. The first day Angié and I picked up the little round guy on our tail, he wore a pink shirt under a gray suit and a black topcoat. The suit was doublebreasted, Italian, and too nice for my part of town by...
LA traffic. Rush hour.Rush hour at four hours and counting. Every Angelino busting it to get home before the heavens opened up like a bursting bladder and the rains came in a gush. The city had been pressed down beneath the weight of an anvil sky all day. Endless, ominous twilight in the concrete...

PREFACE Goodbye, Mr. Chips was written in London during a foggy week of November, 1933.
