September 4Sep 4 https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/books/the-last-untamed-writer-in-america-6d2a129f?st=sBiDrQ&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink A couple of things: 1. I’ve never read this author, but the article has me interested. Anyone able to comment? 2. The article writer is visiting the great author. The author, dying of cancer, offers a glass of whisky at 10 in the morning. The writer declines, leaving the author to drink on his own. What the hell? How do you turn that down? If a Time Machine takes you to 1955 Cuba, and Papa Hemingway wants you to start drinking with him at 8 in the morning, do you say anything but, “He’ll, yeah!”
