I Hosted an Event with Gish Jen!
What an absolutely delightful person! I was so honored to meet the writer Gish Jen in person last night for MetroWest Readers Fest. If you weren’t able to join us, do yourself a favor and YouTube her; whatever video pops up for you, I can guarantee you’ll be enthralled by what she has to say — and how she says it. Her work isn’t included in The Best American Short Stories of the Century and she’s not on the board of the MacArthur Foundation for nothin’, after all.
Thank you, Gish, for your generosity.
(Yes, I’m squatting, as I subconsciously tend to do when there’s a considerable height difference between me and someone I’m next to. Maybe I was also hoping that some of her genius would seep to my brain somehow…)
