What is Literary Rogues : a Scandalous History of Wayward Authors about?

<p>A Wildly Funny and Shockingly True Compendium of the Bad Boys (and Girls) of Western Literature</p> <p>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 <b>The Great Gatsby</b> and <b>On the Road</b> 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. <b>Literary Rogues</b> 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, <b>Literary Rogues</b> is part nostalgia, part literary analysis, and a wholly raucous celebration of brilliant writers and their occasionally troubled legacies.</p>
