“Everybody has to start somewhere. You have your whole future ahead of you. Perfection doesn’t happen right away.”
― Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman
Sh*t Rough Drafts launched on Tumblr a month ago and the site has already created quite a stir. With each post creator Paul Laudiero gives readers a fresh (and imaginary) look at the origins some classic literary works.
Here’s a sample:
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. 1925.
The Lord of the Rings, by JRR Tolkein. 1954.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, by J. K. Rowling. 1997.
‘The Raven’ by Edgar Allen Poe. 1845.
Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain. 1884.
