from another Craig Childs via email:
“Hello from someone who shares your name, an awestruck author on the other side of the planet. In response to your photo, I’ve written my name and yours, too, on the palm of my hand tonight. This is no request for a response, just a perpetual question mark strapped to a rocket and sent flying across the globe. Keep the question moving as long as you like.”
After Googling his email, I’ve discovered this is actually the very well known author of House of Rain. I’m familiar with him because I used to care a little about how high I featured in search results of our name.
I’d thought maybe Craig was a bit of daffodil since he wore a goatee, but after reading his random email to me I’m happier in knowing he’s as vague as I am.
