When we hear the names of writers, we usually think of their work first and not of the people who wrote them. But it doesn’t change the fact that these authors existed and had full-blown lives that impacted their work. And so, sometimes it can be very interesting to think about who the people were deep down who wrote the famous books or other texts.
Threads like this one shared on X let us catch at least a small glimpse into that. After all, seeing an uncommon photo of a writer can make a reader grasp their work in a light they might not have been able to before.
