Literary Rogues

Written by Lee King

Literary Rogues ($13) is a shockingly true yet wildly Funny compendium of the bad Boys and Girls from western literature. It can be easy to think, in this modern world, that rappers, actors and rock stars have always had the monopoly on misbehaving. There was once a time, however, when authors fought with fists as well as words and poets were living fast before dying young. This witty and exciting narrative profiles those literary greats who produced such generation defining classics as On The Road and The Great Gatsby whilst also living, and loving, is a manner that would put many a hedonistic rock star to shame.
