Roger Sterling’s Book to Be Published

Written by Matt Ufford / 10.27.10
Mad Men

One of the story lines from Season 4 of “Mad Men” dealt with the growing irrelevance of account executive Roger Sterling (John Slattery). When he wasn’t insulting Japanese clients, engaging in extramarital street sex, or losing the critical Lucky Strike account, Sterling was in his office by himself, recording his memoirs. And it seems as thoughSterling’s Gold will actually be published: it’s presently available for pre-order on Amazon. Here are some bon mots from the product description:

• When a man gets to a point in his life when his name’s on the building, he can get an unnatural sense of entitlement.

• The day you sign a client is the day you start losing him.

• Being with a client is like being in a marriage. Sometimes you get into it for the wrong reasons, and eventually they hit you in the face.

• When God closes a door, he opens a dress.

The publishing date from Grove/Atlantic says November 2010, so you can get it well in advance of Christmas. Personally, I want to read up on the flings that hellcat Miss Blankenship had. I heard she was one filthy astronaut.

    I think it was his dad who had the fling, not him.

    I think, right? Am I remembering that wrong?

    Cooper had the affair. Sterling wrote about it and said something about how Coop was shooting blanks.

    There better be a chapter about the ins and outs of proper black-face.

    in the one episode it said that the memoirs noted how cooper had one ball.

    … there’s gotta be a good story behind that. and for that reason alone, i’ll probably read this.

    @ joe – I believe Cooper has zero balls, courtesy of a wartime surgical hack named Dr. Lyle Evans.

    If it were true, no phrase ever uttered would get more people into church than “When God closes a door he opens a dress”.

    A book written by a fictional character from a TV show? I’ll wait for the movie.
