mental illness is more than just bad luck


>One room has twenty-nine Gauguins crammed on its walls. (I once again came to the realization - inasmuch as this term is applicable to my rapid sampling of this great collection - that Gauguin's paintings seem hostile to me, directing all the hate against me that a non-Jew can feel toward Jews.)

That obscure german philosopher who hung himself with a pile of unsold copies of his book.

Mainlander. He wasn't unlucky, tho. He went like a coherent champ.

What was he? 39? As a writer he was fortunate, rather. As a human being, not so lucky. Had he lived he wd have strayed further into literature. As a lover of his more literary writing knowledge of his fate was at first genuinely painful.

I think they were unsold purely because he had just got them from the printers.

The author of My Diary tbqh

Fante.

Probably a poor sod that wrote a masterpiece but someone else got the credit for it. My best guess is ancient Greece, presocratic philosophers or the true author of the Iliad and/or Odyssey.

has anyone read the arcades project? how difficult is it?

John Kennedy TOole man

Just a few essays and the voluminous notes he took arranged under chapter headings. It's not even NEAR complete but his notes are both entertaining and informative. It was a great idea, and not to have it a serious loss.
It isn't in the least bit difficult. Youll learn alot about everything from architecture to Fourierism in mid-19th c. Paris.

Stephan Zweig
