Gerald Stanley Lee recalls his conversation with Edgar Chambless, the inventor of Roadtown–a conceptual design for a city. While Lee was personally bored by his conversation with Chambless, he was struck by the scope of his ideas and is glad that men like Chambless, whom he believes to be a great man, exist. Lee believes Chambless’s book on Roadtown to be a tremendous work.
