Well, there's this climactic encounter that basically goes, "You killed my father!" "No, I am your father." "That's impossible!" "Search your feelings, you know it to be true." "Noooo!" And then someone falls from a great height. But no limbs are severed. I don't think.
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
And at some point during this sequence, is it revealed that there is another?

Missed some obvious ones.
Edna O'Brien is famously babely.
John Irving (on the left, with his taller son) is also a looker and has the wrestler's physique.
He's also turned into a Silver Fox.
I also think Doris Lessing was pretty hot back in the fifties before she settled into her wise crone mode.
Caroline Blackwood was famous as a beauty before she was a writer.
Ted Hughes had the rough hewn thing.

Admittedly, my tastes run to the eccentric, but no Neil?

Always Anti-fascist!
I know! I would have included Michael Chabon also...maybe Jonathan Lethem.
