Hot Young Writer Babe

Marisha Pessl, author of Special Topics in Calamity Physics, reading in Asheville this weekend. She lived here and graduated from Asheville High, though now she hails from Noo Yawk.

She’s young (27), attractive, and clearly very smart. I talked to her for a few minutes and found her charming as well.

Damn her.

More on her book, as always, to come.

(Thanks, Ash, for the photo. Check out the snarky and well-written excerpt from her novel on his bloggie).

    You’re sweet, Rio.

    But I ain’t young!

    I would have agreed with hot right up to the point where you said, “Hails from Noo Yawk.”

    I’m not speaking on the “confederate” level and I’m not one of those “the south will rise again” looneys but I’ve got to say I prefer G.R.I.T.S.

    Hooked me a good one with my wife.

    Physics, huh? I’d like to demonstrate Newton’s 2nd Law by ricocheting my balls off her ass.

    2nd law states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    My reaction to LBB - DOH! Good one! A sneakey and highly educated wise crack. I’d give that comment a 9.8.

    LLB, you are sooooooo bad!

    Glad you got your GRITS, Greg!
