Oh and forgot to type pic related, which is R. L. Stevenson's
It looks like the perfect house.
Incidentally, either this house or somewhere Stevenson lived in Hawaii is mentioned in Tennessee Williams's notes to the set designer of cat on a Hot Tin Roof. He wanted to get that same breezy tropical lightness, I think.
This dude really thought his comment in the Carson McCuller's thread was worthy of it's very own thread.
You're in my house now, hole
No, that's me, I didn't create this thread and OP is a gay. Can't prove it, but trust me.
Without going particularly out of my way, I've been to the Keats House in Highgate, the apartment in Rome where he died, and St Botolophs where he was baptised.
Means nothing, I received zero inspiration from any of them.
In the music museum in Berlin there's a harpsichord they think Bach used, but it's not like there's stardust in the keys.
>without going out of my way I've skulked around the entire path of Keats short journey through this world, from his baptism to his childhood house to the place where he met his end
yeah i don't trust this anon
When you put it like that, I now realise I have also visited his grave.
I prefer Byron
Lol I saw that too, there's the odd moment on IQfy where you get to follow a moronic thought process in real time. This was one of those moments.
Odd that you’d think this comment added any substance instead of just making you look like a fricking loser.
This is one of the oldest pics i have on my phone. Bukowski’s house in LA.
I used to live in Raymond Chandlers old hood in Macarthur Park. Although his building was long gone by the time i moved there.
My old apartment was subdivided from an apartment that Sinclair Lewis lived and wrote in for a couple years.
>Sinclair Lewis
Had to google him but pretty cool I guess
It is kind of a shame that he has been forgotten. Mainstreet and Babbit are great. I only knew the name when I moved in and did not find out he had lived there until I had been living there for a few months. There was a window over looking the street which I often stared out of and sometimes I would get hit quite hard by the thought that he may have done the very same thing while taking a break from his writing. It never failed to motivate me and I miss that window more than ones in my childhood home.
Sounds cool senpai
Was being a bit facetious before, have heard the name too but couldn't name a work
He was the first person from the Americas to win the Nobel for literature and very worthwhile reading. But the country is largly
Palmed the trackpad.
But the country is largely viewed as its coasts and he was about flyover country. Lewis is sort of the next step from Sherwood Anderson.
That’s interesting about coastal/fly-over dichotomy. Almost a map-territory kind of thing.
Sinclair Lewis is pretty famous. You're just dumb
Second anon answers first anon perfectly. I am not an American and Sinclair Lewis ain't no Melville.
He is better than Melville.
Off the top of my head, only the Brontës. Must be some more I'm forgetting, brb
Melville's desk. I can just imagine him sitting there penning that kino chapter on whale morphology.
I've been to more writers' graves than homes
>Orwell, Blake, Defoe, Stevenson, Joyce
Hitler
Eagles Nest?
>We are shown around the house, which is large but not grand, and must have seemed crowded when the Tolstoy brood was at its height. The family samovar still stands on the long dining table in the big day room, where there are two grand pianos. The furnishings were evacuated to Siberia when the Nazis attacked Soviet Russia; they controlled Yasnaya Polyana for a couple of months. The German master of tank warfare, General Heinz Guderian, used it as his headquarters at the pivotal point in the war, just before the Red Army turned the tide against the invaders. When they left, our guide tells us, the Germans set fire to the house.
>two grand pianos
Dilettante.
none. why would that be a thing you'd do (repeatedly)?
