Jeopardy? Really?

Yeah, I don't think his intention was irony. He explains earlier that women are less likely to become alcoholics, and since they are less likely, in his mind, that means women are immune. It's a weird book. I may have to keep reading it just for the "I can't believe he just said that" factor.

thanks baby. unfortunately it was only half-a-joke. but still a nice one.

has anybody mentioned GEORG TRAKL here yet?
i seem to remember we had him on another thread once ...

I wasn't joking either ;).


On the contrary, I think you're allowed to write badly about anyone. Does that take courage, or is "courage" just a lazy word we use when we want to speak well of someone?

PS. I want to be a doctor of something :(

I'm late to this thread but I don't think I'm being far fetched to say that there would seem to be a lot of alcoholic writers. My top seven favorite writers would be Buk, Jim Thompson, Nelson Algren, Kerouac, Fitzgerald, Tennesee Williams and Steinbeck. Got at least 5 out and out alcoholics there.

But it would seem a lot of the arts could claim that, I've known mostly musicians my whole life and people think of them as druggies but I've known more than my share of heavy drinkers.

This is as close to it as we have: Post #22 in this tangent riddled thread here.

I should mention the answer is at the bottom of the third row of the Double Jeopardy round labeled American Lit.
