Fake Mad Men book to become actual Mad Men book

Vulture spoke with Grove publisher Morgan Entrekin today to tease out some of the details on what’s being described as “a portrait of an era,” but which is mostly a compendium of lines already familiar to Mad Men fans like “Remember, when God closes a door, he opens a dress”—although Matthew Weiner is said to have written an all-new intro using Sterling’s voice. As Roger himself once said, “Aren’t you curious whether there’s a chapter called ‘Joan’?” Well, there’s not—only chapters titled “Clients,” “Women,” “Drinking,” and so on—and Entrekin says it won’t deliver any “full-on juicy anecdotes from Roger’s colorful past.” However, hopefully it still includes that story about how Roger likes chocolate ice cream, but his mother only let him eat vanilla, because chocolate was too messy. That's poignancy. Anyway, all in all, it should make for an excellent bathroom companion to, say, Chris-In-The-Morning: Love, Life, And The Whole Karmic Enchilada (but honestly, it will probably lack the scintillating narrative structure of Mr. Sterling Gets Angry).
