Meet Your Literary Hero, and Other News

#IWishICouldMeet, the popular Twitter hash tag, gets
a literary twist
as readers tell the
LA Times
which characters and authors they would love to meet #IRL. (And for the record, #ReuvenMalter.)

macher
,
New Yorker
editor, librettist, and Rackett guitarist—
