Some of Us Just Have Writer's Block

Thanks to Jessa Crispin at Bookslut for the lead on The Bloody Scalp of Literature.

Searching for unknown authors was arduous work. How, actually do you find records of people whose very existence was, in some cases, officially erased? Some budding authors were so broken by long prison terms that they never wrote again. Or at least never well. And still others fled to the West, where their works and worlds had no meaning and where they literally got lost in translation.
