A Wildly Funny and Shockingly True Compendium of the Bad Boys
(and Girls) of Western Literature
Rock stars, rappers, and actors haven't always had a monopoly on
misbehaving. There was a time when authors fought with both words
and fists, a time when poets were the ones living fast and dying
young. This witty, insightful, and wildly entertaining narrative
profiles the literary greats who wrote generation-defining classics
such as The Great Gatsby and On the Road while living and loving
like hedonistic rock icons, who were as likely to go on epic
benders as they were to hit the bestseller lists. Literary Rogues
turns back the clock to consider these historical (and, in some
cases, living) legends, including Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde,
Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker,
Hunter S. Thompson, and Bret Easton Ellis. Brimming with fasci-
nating research, Literary Rogues is part nostalgia, part literary
analysis, and a wholly raucous celebration of brilliant writers and
their occasionally troubled legacies.
