Susan Orlean Goes On Epic Drunken Twitter Rant
Long time New Yorker writer and author Susan Orlean gave her fans more than a mouthful by going on an epic, drunken rant on Twitter. The Orchid Thief author started on a sober note, asking people to pray for Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who is undergoing cancer treatment. Later, Orlean just tweeted ‘Drunk’, then proceeded to comment about her neighbor’s newborn colt, her attempts at writing a memoir, trying to find her cat, and asking for candy. Finally after 24 tweets and self-replies, Orlean signed off with ‘Hahaha very funny whoever put the stool softener right next to the Tylenol’. Reps for Orlean are denying reports that Charlie Kaufman is using her tweets as the basic for the sequel to Adaptation.
