Never Climbed His Mountain
A Journey To The Heights And Disaster
By Julian Gladstone

Take part in a voyage of most candid revelations and meet famous personages along the way. From parents—a child raised in sweat shops, yet attaining wealth in the fashion world; and a well-known attorney who amasses Great Masters prior to disbarment, though he produces a doomed version of a classic horror film—to Julian, the protagonist of this journey.

Follow Julian’s emerging sexual deviance; impersonal air wars over Europe, and to Wharton and a lost virginity. A voyeur of the Mexican and Hollywood motion picture scene before joining uncle in Montreal; tries to resurrect renowned store in New York; then to national chains as manager and supervisor. Fights to keep acquired stores in Cleveland from being burnt down during race riots. Demoted, Julian struggles back up the corporate ladder before political intrigue causes downfall. Describes the greatest upheaval in retailing history. Dog show world and the inevitable decision to euthanize. Wastes year with phony entrepreneur and a weird Brooklyn chain. Opens unique store in Seattle only to go bankrupt. Finds place in universe–a tortuous path. Reaches new low at Fred Meyer stores. Fired from Ernst and from Home Depot—Julian ends his journey, a memoir like no other.
