A story about Michael Chabon
Morale of the story – NEVER meet your literary heroes!
We went to a Q&A session with Mr Chabon last week. There were some inane questions from the floor, but he answered them kindly so we were reassured that he wouldn’t mind us asking some of our own when we got our books signed.
How wrong we were! He was really snotty. Maybe he was tired, maybe we didn’t kiss ass enough, maybe we hit a nerve. We only asked if he would revisit any of his earlier characters (who have already appeared in a couple of his novels) – so it was hardly offensive.
Still don’t know what to make of it, but Michael’s definitely off the Xmas card list.
