John Horne Burns wrote three books from 1945-1952 (ish), drank, drank and drank some more until all his promise had faded in the Tuscan summer (was it suicide? Accident? Murder? Or the cerbal hemorrage like the authorities said? Your guess is as good as anybody’s) and, worst, still he was forgotten. And yet that one of those books, The Gallery, was as perfect and sublime as American literature can be. (I already reviewed The Gallery here, scroll down). : Now, with this account, John Horne Burns life (or Jack as I’ve started to think of him cordially in my mind) can step back into the light where he belongs. Blessings to @nyrbooks for reissuing The Gallery for writers like me to find and David Margolick for writing this biography! : I read this book pump me up for grad school, weirdly.📖 (Don’t write & drink is the moral to this and many other stories). : #johnhorneburns #thegallery #twentiethcenturywriters #🥀 #darkacademia #richardpapen #classiclit #classicliterature #literary #literarycommunity #bookstagram #lightacademia #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #teachergoth #blackwritersofinstagram #weirdblackgirl #protectweirdblackgirlsatallcosts #deadauthors #romanticacademia #biblophile #midwesterngothic #gothicacademia #asecondofwhimsy #romanticism #booksbooksbooks #newbookstagrammer #deadpoetssociety #forgottenwriters https://www.instagram.com/p/CNjHmcyh1Im/?igshid=da5oustc9so5

All the books I put on my syllabus for my first quarter of grad school! 📚 ...and I’m going to need all the coffee in every form until June 14th🥳 Haven’t been on here a lot doing the #bookstagram thing. I guess I’ve been more interested in my own work then that of others🌈 : #🥀 #darkacademia #richardpapen #classiclit #classicliterature #literary #literarycommunity #lightacademia #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #teachergoth #blackwritersofinstagram #weirdblackgirl #protectweirdblackgirlsatallcosts #deadauthors #romanticacademia #biblophile #midwesterngothic #gothicacademia #asecondofwhimsy #romanticism #booksbooksbooks #newbookstagrammer #deadpoetssociety #gradstudent #mfa #ucrpalmdesertmfa #ucrmfa #writeandgrind https://www.instagram.com/p/CNN15cbhpUL/?igshid=e2li75hwhu2m

March 2020: Gurl, who cares... March 2021: Well, okay, you can’t just eat pizza and drink beer. You’re (almost) 32 goddamn years old!! Trying to do right by myself as we’ve just past a year of pandemic 😷 I just tried @drinkghia with some topo Chico and it’s a nice reinvention of my Friday nights! : #sobercurious #2021restart #writeandgrind #gradstudentlife #weirdblackgirl #protectweirdblackgirlsatallcosts #alcoholfree https://www.instagram.com/p/CMn9koMBj6L/?igshid=f00vylmgq6b2
