In my favorite episode of the now defunct, deeply pleasurable, and totally bisexual television series Dickinson, it's Christmas and Louisa May Alcott comes to dinner. Played by Zosia Mamet, Alcott has just made $35 from her first book, and she will not stop talking about money. She invites Emily on a run before dinner to give her some no-bullshit advice about publishing: write what sells, so "you'll be out there making a living on your own." When Emily tells Alcott she's a poet, Alcott's swift reply is, "Ah. That's another problem."
