BIO FOR JOHNNY DORSEY: We rather doubt Johnny Dorsey’s claim to be 104 years old, but are willing to accept his self-description as “an old fart.” He also claims to be a gentleman littérateur, practicing belles lettres for his own amusement. But why then, does he have over a hundred submissions to editors? We suspect that, like the rest of us, he bites his nails until he hears about the disposition of a submitted piece, then curses cruel fate if it’s a rejection. Johnny is a devil-may-care flaneur and man-about-town. Too busy to write, he claims. His “secretary” does all the work, but her contract says that everything she publishes must be in his name.
