This first chapter is called "Letterman Jumped Back." As Pete went around the country, he sold his "dishwasher" magazines. He started to get some attention. Letterman asked him to come on. He said yes and sent his friend. A couple weeks later the Letterman show got a huge response saying that they had the wrong guy.
The next chapter is called "Dishwashers, unions, and New York." A fan found him in NYC and got him a job where he could show up whenever because it was so slow. That was his side job. The rest of the time, he was in the library. He found out when the first dishwasher union was started and their first strike in NYC. He felt proud to be a washer.
The next chapter is called "unconquered territory." Pete floats around and then ends up in Louisana. He went an employment office, but everytime he went it was too late. His friend, Cheryl got him a job at an Italian restaurant in New Orleans. The owner was an ex-soldier or something and was mean. Pete thought he was racist but he wasn't because he hired one black dude. The chef there was even meaner than the owner. Pete worked two days and quit.
I am enjoying the book and it's surprising that the book is still interesting. When I picked it up, I didn't have high hopes.
