No, it is not Harry Houdini.

Is this person the author who was committed to the Mayo Clinic for some good old shock treatment shortly before his suicide and claimed that the FBI was watching him (which, they were, actually, for a bit)?

No... and I'm really curious about who that was. Another y/n question for you!

That would be Ernest Hemingway. The Feds kept an eye on him in the 50s because of his enjoyment of sailing around Cuba. They kept his file open, for some reason, after he had moved to Idaho, noting his admission into the Mayo Clinic.

Is this person American?

Huh.

This person is American... which might be why I'm failing so stunningly with auraseer's (in)famous Germans.

No fun with LSD today; lilia_blackbear has already guessed it.

Is this the author who added a letter to his name to disassociate himself from his wack-job ancestor of a judge presiding over the Salem Witchcraft Trials (or so the story goes)?

YES, it is Nathaniel Hawthorne. Well done!

Hooray!
