What a gracious thank you note! I tend to agree about Chris Jesu Lee, but we shall come to know, and I very much agree with your footnote. Wish I had been at that reading.

I never did the MFA thing either. I've been surprised to learn how many aspiring writers have. I just sat down and wrote a novel.

(I did take one creative writing course, when I was in college. It was one of my most fun classes.)

Well done ARX. The first few paragraphs of this are very moving.

It was fantastic to meet you in person! (And kind of you to mention the encounter here.) I hope you come back to NYC sometime!
