Death to Mark Twain!fabulasaule wrote:I know it's very popular and maybe allready boring to talk about weird things well known people have done or said, but I thought it would be interesting to have a topic about writers, where we could share some strange facts, for instance 'Franz Kafka would attend nudist camps but refused to drop his trousers'.

But one of his early works, The Lost Get-Back Boogie, was rejected 111 times over 9 years until it was finally published in 1986. Said book was eventually nominated for a Pulitzer prize.
This author is clearly not a quitter!
