Michael Chabon, John Irving, Tom Wolfe, Richard Ford, Jonathan Franzen. What do these five guys have in common?
ETA - Sunday afternoon - really, no one had a guess? Is it because there was no giveaway? Well anyway, they all have new books due out in 2012. Fall, May, fall, May and I think April, respectively.

That's interesting - I knew about several of those books, but not Ford's or Franzen's, and it was only after you gave away the answer that I remembered that Franzen had a book of essays coming out next year.
My initial thought was that they had made guest appearances on The Simpsons. Wolfe, Chabon, and Fran-zone certainly did, and John Irving seems like the sort of writer who The Simpsons WOULD have had on at some point . . . but I was so certain that Ford had never been on there that I didn't guess.
