Happy bookish birthdays (3 May) to…
- Niccolò Machiavelli (The Prince)
- May Sarton (Journal of a Solitude)
- Dodie Smith (The Hundred and One Dalmatians)
- William Inge (Come Back, Little Sheba)
- Rick DeMarinis (Scimitar) [I’ve been surprised that Scimitar wasn’t more successful and isn’t better known. “You know what freedom is? Freedom is the ability to choose between French toast and flapjacks in the dining car of a train plummeting from a high trestle over a ravine hundreds of feet below. That’s what freedom is. Big fat deal.”–Skylor Blue, Scimitar]
