/lit/ - Literature

Who is the coolest looking author ever? And if you've read their stuff, what's your favorite work of theirs?
And you can't counter one answer by posting the same guy all old and fat and slouched over. So a more accurate request would be:
What single picture has the author in it looking cooler than any other in THEIR coolest looking image?

Also, about Flann O'Brien, I also don't think there's ever been a cooler looking author than him, at least in the few pics of him in this getup.
