“My problem with writing drunk is that after a while I can’t find the kebs. I start out with some piece of lapidary prose chiseling out the finer features of mankind fromthe cold granite of life and wind up wirh a growunf pile od shid.

Funny, funny.
Asimov was afflicted with an even worse condition, he was an arrogant ass.
But hey, if being an arrogant ass, or douchebag, or drunk, etc., meant I didn't read an author or listen to a musician then I wouldn't read or listen to much.
Sometimes I think the less we know about and author's and other artist's personal life the better off we are.
I remember reading the first volume of Asmiov's autobiography and being fascinated by the man but then I grew up and realized he was less than admirable, but still a good writer.
I met Assimov in 1967 on a six hour train ride to NYC, my seat mate. He was a munchkin, I am 6’2”, I think that he suffered from small mans syndrome.
