A Drinking Life - Pete Hamill

Discussion in 'Journalism topics only' started by CHETtheJET, Mar 18, 2007.

  1. I've spent a lot of time with Hamill -- and with his brothers, Denis and John -- and am better as a writer and a person for it.

    Loved Snow in August, something you and your kids can read together.

    I second gingerbread's suggestion that we try to get him involved in some sort of town meeting. News Is A Verb is a great read on the state of newspapers. I could feel my blood pressure rising while I was reading it.

    Sirs, Madames,

    I am with Col Beauregard on this one -- not just one of the great alcohol-drenched memoirs, but one of the best in any genre in the last twenty years. Certainly one with the most heart.

    I always thought that his all-purpose column (brief tho' it was) in Esquire, what, 10 or 15 years back (sic transit etc) was a sunshine period for the mag and some of his best work.

    YHS, etc
