its non-fiction, but Susan Sontag's Illness as Metaphor goes into the whole "TB makes you an artist" trope. Totally weird thinking, but I guess it was considered romantic to have TB.

I always wondered why the higher classes were over represented in art. It probably has to do with the fact that they fund the artist, and they love jerking off all over themselves.
