This week, I've pulled my daily Literary Fact of the Day from Nom de Plume to show how intimate and fascinating this book is:
George Sand explained that the reason she didn't like her husband was his unattractive nose.
While working as a ranch-hand in Texas, O. Henry would carry around a copy of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary while herding sheep.
Sylvia Plath wrote The Bell Jar on textured, pink memo pads.
Patricia Highsmith was obsessed with her (pet) snails & once smuggled them into France by hiding them under her breasts.
