Hemingway hasn't been aging well for the last half a century.

Does is count as research if you lived through it, like Bret Easton Ellis did? Or if the novel is more or less contemporary, being written in 1991? I feel like I could do something similar with the 90s without having to look up anything.

Nah, he would have had to be as empty as Bateman to have all those brands roll so continuously off his fingers. Must have had a stack of GQ and society papers bigger than he was next to the typewriter. Still research even if it's contemporary.

Should finish reading "Mongrels" and "Night of the Mannequins" by Stephen Graham Jones.
