>Stifter was considered an excessive eater and drinker, which can be seen as the cause of his health problems. Time and again, he had Lahners Frankfurter Würstel delivered to him by a Viennese friend: "Buy me for the money," he wrote, "which is in this letter, as many so-called Frankfurter Würstel as you can get, if you have previously paid for the box in which you must put the Würstel so that they are delivered to me. But listen and think carefully: you may only send the sausages in cold weather." His menu usually included six meals a day. Thus, the second breakfast could well consist of a schnitzel with potato salad. Lunch and dinner consisted of three courses each. Thus it is reported that once the starter consisted of six trout and the main course of a whole roast duck. Lunch was followed by coffee and a snack, followed by dinner.
>Plagued by the increasing discomfort of cirrhosis of the liver, Stifter opened his carotid artery with a razor on his sickbed on January 26, 1868.

I suck at writing, always living in obscurity, don’t have any literary fame, and I’m a fictional entity that lives within the works of a depressed chain-smoking German-American.

I have golden hair and am 6'2 with blue eyes. The only character that has looked like me is The Pilot from Shogun. I doubt there is any author who has ever looked like me.

Not that I’m married but if I did ever get a girlfriend and marry her and if she ever did get lippy with me, I would know what to do.
