William Faulkner was really stylin’ with his sunglasses, pipe, shorts, and wool socks. Thanks for the link.

Edith Wharton looks uncomfortable, no? I’m liking G.K. Chesterton’s set up with a cup of tea at the ready.

She does, I agree. It doesn’t look natural. G.K. is a man after my own heart. I am putting a tea cart in my studio, in addition to the tea station in the kitchen. Priorities, you know.

The Faulkner is hilarious, but I like the realness of the Roth image.

George Orwell’s hair and suit—sigh.

The ones of William Faulkner were hilarious! I love the Dorothy Parker chewing her pen or pencil and Twain with that dreamy look on his face. Nice find! I like The Huffington Post.
