Rolfe is clearly a journalist who has a nose well-trained to smell a rat, and always appears to be in the right place at the right time mightily annoying for those who wish to avoid prying journalists, but wonderful for those who, like Rolfe, oreillynet.com are obsessed "doubters of the official version". Yet Fat Man On The Left is much more than a collection of "what really happened" stories. It is also an honest oreillynet.com account of those experiences which shape one's own individual life. One cannot fail to be oreillynet.com affected by Rolfe's moving account of his brush with death, his brutally frank and eye-watering account of his treatment for gangrene resulting from diabetes, the split from his second wife and the loss of a close friend soon afterwards. Nevertheless, there is an underlying sense of almost humorous irony lying behind Rolfe's Californian-inspired writing, even when the subject matter is most tragic. Where else but in LA could a self-confessed Fat Man roll over in his sleep and crush his beloved cockatiel to death, and then describe the account in such moving, heart-rending words?
