Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19th, 1809, in Boston, Massachusetts. A tragic, sad, pathetic life ... but an immortality that few dare to dream of and hardly anyone achieves. The impact of his work on Western literature is immeasurable. Please forgive the following horrible pun: His like shall be seen among us - nevermore!
I will celebrate the bicentenary by releasing
this book in downtown Oslo today. I have a place all figured out. :-)
