F Scott stole whole sections from her letters and journals as well as numerous ideas. Is this your punishment for being married to a writer.

she got off lightly - according to legend, ted hughes burnt some of sylvia's best stuff...wwriters are fuckers to live/love with, and I'm speaking as one - if life is too boring for me to write about, hey presto instant crisis and wham abm oout come the pages. hence one of the reasons i prefer singleness

Or a painter. Jackson Pollack is said to have ripped off the entire idea of AbEx from wife Lee Krasner.

"Or a painter. Jackson Pollack is said to have ripped off the entire idea of AbEx from wife Lee Krasner."

Mmm...I doubt that. Considering Krasner wasn't the first American (let alone anyone) to paint an entirely abstract painting, expressionist or otherwise.

Pollocks early work was abstract but not non objective. Krasner pushed Jackson to excise any and all representation from his work. He pushed against this in the black and white drawings tha consisted the last work of his career. I think Krasner is a better painter then Jackson but She lives in the shadows. In fact there were 4 patrtners like this in the last 50 years ( Joan Mitchell and Riopelle come immedaitly to mind)

He sparkles like few other writers: I can't think of many contemporaries who tried similar effects.

No one’s like Fitzgerald! But maybe try Dawn Powell’s A Time to be Born, or Two Serious Ladies, or the Go-Between, or I Capture The Castle, or Denton Welch, or JL Carr’s A Month in the Country, or William Maxwell, or even The Long Goodbye. They’re all exquisite, smart, fun, not middle-of-the-road.
