whose poem Ulysses never fails to move me:
"Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in the old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal-temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

Does Lorrie Moore EVER take a bad picture? According to the photos I've seen of her, NO.

Dorothy Parker and Clarice Lispector both look like they could've been either movie stars or models or both. That Aimee Bender looks like she would be a really cool friend to have, though -- this is why I will SO check out her writings, first chance I get!

Favorite photo = one with Zelda Sayre and F. Scott Fitzgerald and family (sorry, can't remember the name of their daughter). They not only look as though they'd lived the lives of Fitzgerald's protagonists, the fact that I now know what they looked like brings a whole new dimension to Fitzgerald's novels. I think.

e.e. cummings is The Man. Robert Frost and Anthony Powell are/were HELLA suave. Anthony Burgess looks like the type of individual to dream up the universe in A Clockwork Orange. William Faulkner -- quick, someone, Photoshop him in a photo with Nick Cave! ;) And... that Houellebecq? Pretty damn cute.

Also:

Tim O'Brien, known for his novels about the Vietnam War era.

Robert Cormier, whose novels I devoured when I was a preteen. (Sure, he's not at the level of some of the aforementioned authors, but I think he's just about the finest juvenile author to ever exist.)

Point VERY well taken (and the Fitzgeralds are also tagging along).

You're a very nice person.

Why thank you! (It's not like he's exactly been charitable to my favorite artists, you know.) (So, by extension, this guy's already said a sort of "fuck you" to ME.)

Anyway -- Langston Hughes! Jaunty hat! Dashing and debonair!

(Another "based on physical appearance I MUST check out their works"/"I so shallow" author: Zora Neale Hurston. SO cool and poised.)

Isabel Allende looks like she could have Rita Moreno play present-day her in her biopic. And young W.H. Auden looks like my maternal grandpa looked like when he was in his forties, according to pictures I've seen of him (Grandpa).
