Sam notices how pathetically insignificant one’s life can
truly be. He stumbles through some interesting yet awkward
situations, both funny and sad, including being conflicted
about whether he should allow himself to fall in love with Kate
Buckley, the reporter trying to get a story about his friend
Ben for “Esquire,” or continue his unhealthy relationship with
Liz Brightwater of the Brightwater Marble fortune. In the end,
Sam realizes that life is happening now. It’s admirable to
respect the past, but he must also learn to trust his future.
According to Smith, “’Like Dizzy Gillespie’s Cheeks’…[is] a
humorous look into the life of Sam Greene, a Chicago jazz
pianist, stuck playing dingy bars, museum benefits and
Nordstrom’s half-yearly sales.” It’s published by iUniverse,
available online through their bookstore, as well as Amazon.
