Lauren Groff. He's so generous and I've heard her book is amazing.

1. Wow, what a great piece!
I'll totally keep my eye out for her book!
And, that reminds me to get the latest Best American Short Stories!

Thanks dude. :pals:

And as an aside, I always have trouble believing that that gentle looking man wrote The Stand, Carrie, The Shining (my fave), etc.

He looks great! :bounce:

I saw a tiny snippet but my computer's on dialup. Thanks for posting that, though. My admiration for him is huge, HUGE.

It's pretty astounding when a wonderful artist can be such a good man, too. His book On Writing made me love him.
