Writers you have seen, met, heard speak
Some of you may remember the thread I posted last year about A Night with Harry, Carrie, and Garp, this afternoon I stopped from my busy schedule and craziness to listen to a Q&A with Maurice Sendak.
If you don't recognize the name, maybe you'd recognize the title of his most famous book, Where the Wild Things Are, if you don't recognice that, maybe you'll recognize the illustrations he's done.
We all got to email him questions for hm to field. He's an older snarky man. Stating some rather wild things like, "You don't have the guts to just say, 'Fuck You' instead you say 'whatever'" After the Q&A we got copies of his latest book
I get to add Mr. Sendak to my growing list of authors I have heard speak. So far he's been one of the funniest.
Do any of you go to the B&N author book tours? What authors have you gotten to see, meet, hear speak?
