This is not a picture of Dan Chaon

So you go to grad school and a good writer — say, Dan Chaon — comes to your class. Of course you bring your camera. One guy brought a tape recorder. But do you remember to use your camera? Maybe you do. But I did not.

Lucky for me, Chaon is reading to a whole theater tonight, so I can take photos then. And write up something, you know, coherent. But for now, I wanted to share this: when asked about authors he likes, he named a few, and then said “Kelly Link! I really like Kelly Link!”

Right on, Dan Chaon.

About the author

I like sitting in Jack Webb's booth.
