The Literary Life and Other Curiosities Book

If you're ever tempted to think, as a writer, "nobody knows the trouble I've seen," reach for this volume put together by Robert Hendrickson and let your spirits be comforted by the fact that the likes of Voltaire, Robert Graves and Alexandre Dumas endured tribulations just like yours.
