"As a writer friend of mine once said, 'We must show up in person to show the reading public that we are extremely disappointing as people. We must do this for the sake of all literature. We must show them who writers really are. It keeps them more interested in books than in us, which is, after all, good for sales.'"
from a lecture by Lorrie Moore in San Francisco (City Arts & Lectures, March 1, 1997)
