Freaked-Out Asian American Writers at Indiana

Anyway, it turns out it's a link to an account of a minor Li-Young Lee freakout during a reading in Indiana; the subsequent discussion expresses admiration for his cheekbones.

I concur with the reactions here about the cheekbone admirers. It's like writing about a woman's legs or something. Sheesh.
