The most incredible writer you’ve never heard of: Joseph Mitchell. I always think that the work of Joseph Mitchell – American journalist and obsessive recorder of the lives of New York’s social outsiders – has something in common with the neat whisky that his subjects drink so much of.
Both are massively underrated (not to mention misunderstood) but, given a chance, damn good. It’s weird that Mitchell remains so unknown today. He was actually pretty celebrated in the 40s, 50s and 60s, when he wrote profiles – super-detailed portraits – of all manner of eccentrics for the New Yorker. In fact, his colleagues admired his work so much that even when Mitchell stopped publishing thirty years before his death, no one asked him to vacate his office. If you can get away with three decades of zero output then you’re clearly very fucking good. Hundred Zeros - Download Free Books. The High Roman Empire (44 B.C.-305 A.D.)
