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.)

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!
