At the risk of being seen as 'unprofessional' I bought a copy of The Proper Care of Foxes by Wena Poon, and very unabashedly ambushed Wena and asked her to sign my book. Which she did. :) I mean I bought this, instead of Lions in Winter because Wena said Foxes is a book for fighters. When she first met me and after I shared with her my story about bigtallwhiteguyIusedtoworkwithatthebar she said, 'You are a fighter, and fighters must write.' Which is probably the largest inspiration to me all year. (And we are already in October, so you know how much this means to me..)
And incidentally, one of the stories in the book was set in Palo Alto, and its about an lesbian Asian barista. How can one not love it.
The Proper Care of Foxes, you have to read it.
