Dear Richard Gere

Some friends and I read Matthew Quick's THE GOOD LUCK OF RIGHT NOW this month. One of the quirky things about the book (one of many) is that it's primarily told through letters from the protagonist to Richard Gere. THE GOOD LUCK OF RIGHT NOW isn't my favorite Matthew Quick book (I love, love, love FORGIVE ME, LEONARD PEACOCK), but the main character's striking observations about people and humanity linger with me still.

I wondered aloud on social media if Richard Gere actually knew he was in the book, and the author tweeted me back today.

 I've spent all day wondering what the hell Richard Gere thought when he opened the novel. I mean, seriously, what is THAT like?
