S. Naipaul (a narcissist and \u2018a snob\u2019), the historian Barbara Tuchman (\u2018her sense of entitlement was sometimes hard to deal with\u2019), William Gaddis (\u2018unrelentingly disgruntled\u2019), John Updike (\u2018I was disturbed that he wouldn\u2019t accept advances\u2019) and Roald Dahl (an \u2018erratic and churlish\u2019 author who made \u2018immoderate and provocative financial demands\u2019 and anti-Semitic remarks).\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>While we\u2019re at it, I\u2019m always looking for new and novel ways to denigrate the Nazis. Norman Ohler, a German writer, has hit the mother lode\u2014he discovered that they were all hopped up on amphetamines during the war. His book<em> Blitzed<\/em> tells a deliriously druggy tale of the Third Reich: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2016\/sep\/25\/blitzed-norman-ohler-adolf-hitler-nazi-drug-abuse-interview\" target=\"_blank\">The F\u00fchrer, by Ohler\u2019s account, was an absolute junkie with ruined veins by the time he retreated to the last of his bunkers<\/a> \u2026 At a company called Temmler in Berlin, Dr. Fritz Hauschild, its head chemist, inspired by the successful use of the American amphetamine Benzedrine at the 1936 Olympic Games, began trying to develop his own wonder drug\u2014and a year later, he patented the first German methyl-amphetamine. Pervitin, as it was known, quickly became a sensation, used as a confidence booster and performance enhancer by everyone from secretaries to actors to train drivers \u2026 It even made its way into confectionery. \u2018Hildebrand chocolates are always a delight,\u2019 went the slogan. Women were recommended to eat two or three, after which they would be able to get through their housework in no time at all.\u201d\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>But you don\u2019t need amphetamines to keep your edge. You can just do what Eileen Myles does and sleep on the street from time to time. It really gets the blood flowing. She did it last week for a few nights and it sounds fun enough: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/hyperallergic.com\/324819\/why-eileen-myles-spent-a-week-living-on-the-streets-of-new-york\/\" target=\"_blank\">I\u2019ve been compelled by the image of the begging monk, the hobo, the traveling anything for as long as I\u2019ve been alive<\/a>. I wanted to run away when I was a kid. I know we all did. But it\u2019s still a very sweet part inside me. When I tour I love that I\u2019m alone on a strange street, in a train station. So this retreat seemed a way to be out there\u2014with a modicum of safety and to feel that free fall \u2026 When I was drinking, because my life was so unmanageable, I was afraid of not having a home. The fear of losing my apartment was visceral and haunting and persuasive. But of course, like when you lose something, there\u2019s a moment when it\u2019s great that it\u2019s gone. You love the hole it left.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Gideon Lewis-Kraus on the central contradiction of travel photography: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/09\/25\/magazine\/what-we-see-when-we-look-at-travel-photography.html\" target=\"_blank\">We are not much closer to resolving the fundamental paradox of travel, which is just one version of the fundamental paradox of late-\u00adcapitalist life<\/a>. On the one hand, we have been encouraged to believe that we are no longer the sum of our products (as we were when we were still an industrial economy) but the sum of our experiences. On the other, we lack the ritual structures that once served to organize, integrate and preserve the stream of these experiences, so they inevitably feel both scattershot and evanescent. We worry that photographs or journal entries keep us at a remove from life, but we also worry that without an inventory of these documents\u2014a collection of snow globes for the mantel\u2014we\u2019ll disintegrate. Furthermore, that inventory has to fulfill two slightly different functions: It must define us as at once part of a tribe (\u2018people who go to Paris\u2019) and independent of it (\u2018people who go to Paris and don\u2019t photograph the Eiffel Tower\u2019).\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Admirers of short fiction tend to nod with vague approval at the name John O\u2019Hara, but few go on to read him. Charles McGrath is hoping to change that\u2014O\u2019Hara was, he writes, peerless in the attention he paid to social class: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/the-eavesdroppers-secret-on-john-ohara\" target=\"_blank\">Because he was Irish and Catholic, O\u2019Hara felt himself to be an outsider<\/a>, and all his life, even after he had become wealthy and famous, he retained an outsider\u2019s neediness and sullen defensiveness. His face was pressed against a glass that sometimes wasn\u2019t there. But, the way outsiders do, he also became an uncanny observer of the world around him \u2026 spending marathon hours in speakeasies and working at a series of small-town newspapers. He became, among other things, one of the great listeners of American fiction, able to write dialogue that sounded the way people really talk, and he also learned the eavesdropper\u2019s secret\u2014how often people leave unsaid what is really on their minds.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s start the day by insulting some dead writers, one of the finer pastimes at our disposal.
