'Jealousy' and 'Drinkers' by Edvard Munch.

I love Munch's vibrant face colours. Green presumably for naivety, red for lust and drunkenness?

@StevePriestap You won't be able to put it down. Willocks' prose is dangerous and fierce.

I'll be reviewing Green River Rising on the next episode of Ellroy Reads. This is one most intense prison novels ever written. It's enough to make you double check your taxes are in order!

@Howlingmutant0 😂 I just had to share that still.

[Steven Powell @EllroyReader]

@Howlingmutant0 Ha ha! No, not even a 1950s version I'm afraid. It starred Anita Ekberg, who could set any man straight

@spiritedcretin Gosh yes! How did you know?

Hemingway hated F. Scott Fitzgerald's essay 'The Crack-Up'. He felt all of the angst on display should have been channelled into a novel.

Nevertheless, more than eighty years since publication 'The Crack-Up' is now regarded as one of the finest examples of confessional writing
