A Quart of Bacardi

This is from a neighbor’s house during covid.

This is an article about Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings who wrote The Yearling. which I haven’t read in probably 50 years.

I love the opening quote:

“If you like the book, I shall drink a quart of Bacardi in celebration,” Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings wrote to Maxwell Perkins before sending him her first novel, “South Moon Under,” in 1932. “If you don’t like it, I shall drink a quart of Bacardi.”

I can’t drink a quart of Bacaradi but I think I would have liked hanging out with her.
