Hawthorne, Julian. Julian Hawthorne inherited all his father Nathaniel’s prodigious literary talent, but straitened circumstances forced him to pawn it.

Hemingway, Ernest. Psychiatrists have determined that Hemingway’s trademark literary style was the result of a severe case of attention deficit disorder.

Joyce, James. When he was sober, James Joyce was completely unable to interpret his own Finnegans Wake.

Makes a helluva lotta sense, eh?
