Comment on Hemingway, Hounded by the Feds

Comments

So, one paranoid lunatic contributed to the death of another?

It is too bad J.Edgar Hoover didn't write...

Well, they could be two of the most epic studies in self-loathing.

Hemingway (along with his "literary style of wearing false hair on the chest") damaged himself in his maniacal rush to prove himself the pinnacle of manliness. And Hoover, who was probably queer, commenced an unsurpassed reign of sexual blackmail of everyone including the wives of presidents.

Though I shouldn't speak such ill of the dead, I suppose.
