Scribble, scribble, scribble, eh?

It bothers me that I can't find a scan of this wonderful picture I recently saw of Agnar Mykle.
O well, I did stumble upon this nice one of James Branch Cabell today, which somehow seems SO right:

I wish I could find the photo of Empson with his amazing bare-chinned superbeard! So awesome.

Someone pointed out to me that every picture of Gogol looks fantastic.

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/chabrieres/halloffame/img/gogol.jpg

(a) Someone prove this theory wrong.
(b) Is there a word for "photogenic" but for paintings?

Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 21 November 2005 20:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Highsmith.

Woah, I totally have a crush on Patricia Highsmith now. (Not to mention needing to get the number for Gogol's hairdresser...)

I haven't seen this one of David B. Feinberg before, but I like it more than the one on the cover of Queer And Loathing:

Seriously?! Is he the anti-Gogol?

Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 5 January 2006 03:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Ha! He may well be, though I have to admit that I really like that photo. Just imagine that guy reading those stories for you.

Anyhoo, let's throw in August Strindberg, to up the handsome ratio of the thread:

I'm not sure what's going on with his tie.

David Goodis, possibly the most neurotic crime novelist ever (and that's saying something)

That Tove is good. I like the apparently semi-transparent shape with a skeleton inside in the bgrnd, not sure what it is.

shadows on a mannequin, maybe?
