Playing Anthropologist

I was talking to a college class the other day and mentioned Tom French (from whom I've stolen nearly all of my tips) and a woman, a little older than the rest, stopped me.

"Did he write Angels and Demons?"

Yes, I said.

"He's why I'm here."

She said she read the story in high school and decided she would become a journalist. That's a testament to Tom, who is featured this week over at Nieman Storyboard. Check it out.
