Here's a twofer. Enjoyed myself this afternoon, doing some loosey-goosey sketching. Rather than say who these literary folks are, I was hoping that people might be able to guess their identities. C'mon – the prize is one million dollars! (she said with her pinky to her mouth).
Well, okay, not really. But give it a shot anyway.
UPDATE: Congrats to Brian Fies who got Joan Didion (aka E.T.) right, and BarbM who got Harold Bloom! Woo-hoo! The cheques are in the mail!....(snicker...)
The lady has got to be Joan Didion. Or E.T. The gentleman doesn't ring a bell yet . . .

HA!! Yeah, she does kind of look like E.T., doesn't she? The other guy is more of a literary critic than an author...

Just found your blog. Nice!

The man has got to be Harold Bloom. I still haven't figured out the woman.

Brian got Ms. Didion correct, and BarbM got Harold Bloom. Woo-hoo!!

Thank God. That half a million dollars couldn't come at a better time. I'll be waiting by the mailbox, thanks!
