It turns out that there is only one mind behind all of the “great” (or even merely good) artistic works of the twentieth century. Picasso? Gershwin? Hemingway? Updike? The list goes on and on, and all of their work was actually produced by one Scott Anderson, who will die on his 183rd birthday. (The longevity is hereditary, but not in the way you think...
