I'm only an occasional visitor to Marty's blog, but that was a great post and will give a good sense to people who care in the future what Max Fish was about. And I'm not even close to a regular there.
ReplyDeleteTo chime in on the "will visiting a bar every day for an entire year ruin Marty's health" debate, as long as he has limited to four drinks a night, no. Most healthy adult males of his age and build can stand four drinks night, and he is doing everything else right. If you do more, as many New Yorkers do, then you need to take a one or two day break afterwards.
Those are great photos over at Vintage Sleaze. And I like the line about leaving the dust marks and scratches on photos. Photos are too perfect today and look unrealistic.
