I'm intrigued by writers who were ... odd, or who died tragically. Emily Dickinson, for example, always wore white and rarely left her room; Edgar Allen Poe and F. Scott Fitzgerald were alcoholics; and Sylvia Plath and Ernest Hemingway took their lives.

So I'm wondering: which writers were truly gifted and which were certifiably insane?

Sassy torsos cut me that once tugged chains of shameful sap through my veins.
(Does it mean that those torsos doesn't stimulate me anymore?)

Men hardened by the friction of learning, steel men of savvy quietly applied, crusty ole boys of rough-hewn glory, probably smoke a lonely cigarette in their cells during lunch breaks from court.
1-what do you understand from"Men hardened by the friction of learning"
2- what does "steel men of savvy quietly applied" mean?
Thank you.

I have been reading stories by author Henry James for my own pleasure. What do you think is so unique about James? What about his use of symbolism or viewpoints?

I want to hear them.

My dream is to become a true author as my occupation. I have an excellent manuscript for my first book and like any first time entry, I am finding it very difficult to even get a literary representative to give me the time of day. That's without the agents even reading what I have written. If anyone can tell me what you have done in the same circumstance or if you are a literary agent and want an outstanding historical fiction to represent, then write me back.
I know this is the customary way to start out but hey it's worth a try! :)

I just saw it in Barnes and Noble a week ago and I can't remember the title...It was in the teen section and it was about a girl in India who is trying to earn money to get out of a whore house. And now I can't remember the title!

Sometimes I think the whole world has gone crazy, but then again maybe it's just me. Everyone wishes for the perfect life. Some people get it, I'm not one of those people. I was sitting on a plane as it soared over the glistening water of the vast Atlantic. London, England is where I was headed. To live with my dad whom I had visited every summer since I was four years old. I'd been to London every summer for thirteen years. I love London, I truly do, but it just isn't the place for me. I don't feel like I will ever get my perfect life, or my happily ever after there. The busy streets, the brain-racketting noises, they're great. Except you get used to them, maybe even too used to them. I really didn't know what to expect in London though I had been there for a month, every year, for thirteen years. Even though it seemed like I had it all worked out in my mind, London was so different from Phoenix.
