I also met an author of a book for short stories we read in my Women's Lit class, because she was actually a Physics professor at my college. Her name is Vandana Singh and she was super nice. It's really cool and intimidating to talk to an author about their work. I kept starting to say "I think the author meant..." and then realizing she was in the room. haha

I met Isaac Asimov, and he eye-raped me and made a salacious comment.
Barbara Seaman, a "right broad."
I met David Ignatow, the poet, and he was a lovely man.
I met Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, and he was also a lovely chap.
PS I didn't mind the eye-rape, as it WAS after all Asimov. But Jong really bugged me. I told a literary friend about it and he said, "Ugh. Never mind anything she does, she's the Miss Piggy of American Literature." I liked that!
