And I was in fact a wee bit sloshed in the course of writing it and was going to post a rec about writing drunk like Hemingway. but I discovered in the course of my preliminary factcheck that this may not even be true and Hemingway may in fact have only only been a recreational alcoholic.
But I leave you with these words from Gore Vidal, professional hater, my literal kin and most favorite alcoholic of all time:
βWell, almost all American male writers are alcoholic, and as a result of the alcohol they become less capable sexually as they get older. They also become confused about which is their penis, which is their pen. Think of all those clones of Hemingway, drinking and worrying - fortunately they write very little.β
