Incredibly Soothing Writers Balm (by Robert Caro)

– You should all really read Sheilah Graham’s College of One, which will be re-issued by Melville House in May (Or you know, my book that touches on her life w/Fitzgerald when it comes out in EONS). This is far from the most awkward thing that happens in it. FAR FROM IT.

After he got his hands… Read Liz on this story, and then the story at the Atavist. Sounds awesome.
