ITT: funny and obscure things you've heard/read about authors

"James Joyce and Hemingway would frequently go out drinking. James Joyce was a small, thin un-athletic man with very bad eyes. So, when in the course of drinking he ran into any belligerence, he would jump behind his powerful friend and shout "Deal with him, Hemingway! Deal with him!"

Not only that, but when proust said he had never read anything of Joyce, Joyce responded that he had never read anything of his, which of course was a lie.

HST was pulled over for driving without his headlights on, after midnight, in the mountains.
The cop asked him "you've got no headlights on, what are you doin?"
>I'm driving by moon light officer.
"Smells like you've been drinking, AND you're wearing sunglasses! What the fuck do you think you're doing?"
>I tell you what. If I can throw these sunglasses up in the air and catch them behind my back, will you let me go?
"OK tough guy, you're on!"
Catches the glasses, puts them back on, gets in his car and weaves home.

RIP Hunter S. Thompson

Not the anon that posted the pic but I made that image ages ago - someone made a hilarious thread once featuring a story based around the "Deal with him, Hemingway!" video.
