    Ursula K. Le Guin and Philip K. Dick went to the same high school, he a year ahead of her, but they never talked in person: http://www.openculture.com/2016/12/when-ursula-k-le-guin-philip-k-dick-went-to-high-school-together.html … cc: @lmlauramarsh

        Dick & Le Guin didn't meet but corresponded intensely. She was put off by the Valis visions. Her critique of Dick's sexism led him to create his most plausible female character: http://blog.loa.org/2010/12/what-philip-k-dick-learned-about-women.html?m=1 …

        This recalls, for me, the fact that Einstein and Kafka moved in the same social circle in Prague, but there's no record of them meeting. I wish I were capable of writing a fictional conversation between those two.

        More than that: Charles Burns, Lynda Barry and Matt Groening all went to the same college at the same time.

        Wikipedia says they were in the same graduating class. Is that wrong?

        Bill McKibben was at LHS, overlapping with Scott and me, as well. [Lev, Austin and Bathsheba Grossman were post-us, pre-Amanda]. We also overlapped at college with Aaron Sorkin and Vanessa Williams.
