I just read the opposite on Galley Cat: The World according to Kate.<BR/>http://www.mediabistro.com/galleycat/authors/the_world_according_to_kate_33013.asp<BR/><BR/>Taken from the Galley Cat posting, these are a couple of the comments that this author apparently made about herself:<BR/><BR/>- "I'm not just another writer. I don't think people understand my relationship with this city, and they don't understand what I've achieved."<BR/><BR/>- "There is not another woman writer in Southern California who sits between Bellow and Conrad next to Hemingway and Kafka. I have the most literary stature, certainly, of any woman in Southern California."<BR/><BR/>I won't post her surname as I am sure she is so famous that you'll know her without. (I'd never heard of her before today.)Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.com
