Tolstoy
when he was sixteen he was thrust into the word of illicit and commercial sex when he lost his virginity to a prostitute.
afterwards he sat at the end of the bed and cried.
he had thriteen children with his wife sofia. before they married he showed her his batchelor diaries, a disasterous act which he replicated as a warning to bachelors everywhere in Levins pre-marital confession to kitty.
many of his characters were based on real people that he knew;
which makes when you know that he frequently rejected his literary projetcs, saying with disdain that they repulsed him, and that he'd rather put his efforts into nurturing real people,
not imaginary ones.
his birthday- 28-8-1828
strangely neat and tidy? mathematically sublime?
he was always doubtful as a writer. he wasn't sure it was what he should be doing.
there is hope for us all.
