      2. In Making It, the first of his many autobiographies, Podhoretz tells us that "many men" (meaning him) want to jerk off before writing.

          5. Re-reading Making It, I realized I had blocked out how often Podhoretz compares writing to achieving an erection (block=impotence)

          This is a condition of working from home, not writing per se. "The freelancer's lie-down." See below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co_DNpTMKXk …

          I wonder if this is the passage that finally persuaded Lionel Trilling to say, "Dude, you're a fool if you publish this garbage."
