Which authors knew each other?

ShadowKat

Are you looking for a specific pair/group of authors that know/knew each other? Or authors from a specific time period? Because a hell of a lot of authors know/knew each other. For example, obviously the Bronte sisters all knew each other (past authors) and Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett know each other (present authors) as do Steven King and Dave Barry.

Paul Bowles and Janes Bowles knew each other F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda Fitzgerald knew each other Michael Frayn and Claire Tomlin knew each other (sorry I'm being cheeky these are writers who have married) Joyce knew Italo Svevo Beckett knew Joyce Albert Camus knew Jean-Paul Sartre Sartre was married to Simone de Beavouir Simone de Beavouir had an affair with Nelson Algren Dostoyevsky knew Turgenev Gorky knew Chekhov Ernest Hemmingway knew Gertrude Stein Thomas Mann knew Heinrich Mann (they were brothers) I think we can assume the Bronte sisters knew each other Guy de Mauspassant knew Balzac, Balzac knew Victor Hugo and Eugene Sue Norman Mailer and Arthur Miller were roomates Jack Kerouac knew William Burroughs etc. Paul Bowles knew Truman Capote, Eugene O'Neill Gabriel Garcia Marquez knew Mario Vargas Llosa (apparently they had a punch-up though) And there is plenty more, you'd be surprised how well writers no each other.

At one stage two literary personalities loathed each other so much that one of them openly attacked the other in one of his novels. What was the novel, who were the esteemed authors, and what was the offending statement? Fred and Wilma were married for what seemed like ever and were devoted to each other. They lived in the penthouse of a tall block of flats. One morning Fred was going to work so he kissed his wife goodbye and left. Half way down to the ground floor (First floor in the US) he was heartbroken as he knew Wilma was dead. How come? How do rabbits communicate with each other? How do fishes communicate with each other?
