...brother, Eugene Jr., committed suicide; his first child, Eugene III, smothered at the age of three months. And, like his father's mother, the model for Mrs. Tyrone in Long Day's Journey into Night, Shane has been for 20 years a drug addict.

Author Clark, wife of Novelist Robert Penn Warren, became an oyster addict while living in the village of Locmariaquer on the coast of Brittany, chief breeding ground of the world's most prized oyster. The Locmariaquer oyster is known to science as the Ostrea edulis. To the locals it is known simply as the plate (the flat one), to distinguish it from the bumpy Portuguese oyster, which is sometimes foisted off on innocent diners as a true edulis, and which ostreophiles regard as little better than a mussel or even a clam...
