Literary Heros

My Literary Heros:

R. W. Emerson

F. S. Fitzgerald

Here is my philisophical hero; the founder of the Transcendentalist movement and author of numerous essays expounding the importence of indivduality.
My Pick: Self-Reliance

He spent his career trying to capture the romantic caprice of the American upper-class. His life and marraige were, perhaps, a mirror of his writings.
My Pick: The Great Gatsby

E. Hemmingway

An American icon, an adventurer whose writing traversed the globe. He would paint man v. man, man v. nature, or even man v. love with a viceral clarity that resonated in his own life. Most often sad but proud.
My Pick: A Farewell to Arms

K. Vonnegut

H. S. Thompson

Science fiction's brilliant escapee found ways to bemuse while lecturing the dead serious. His is a sometimes zany but always lucid style...a most creative moral messenger.
My Pick: Player Piano

Gonzo journalism's proud papa, Hunter has spent his career writing the news as he interacts with it. Often scathing always honest, he finds odd angles on every subject and invites you to twist your mind and see just what he means.
My Pick: Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail: 1972
