Jeff VanderMeer

He wrote the Southern Reach Trilogy.



I’m curious because a friend told me he’s famous. Is he really?

He used to be my neighbor. At the time, I didn’t know he was a writer. He’s a nice guy.

I have not.

But a quick Google search reveals his works. He even has a Wikipedia entry.

I have never heard of him before. I looked him up just now and his books don't seem like my thing.

No, I have not read his works.

Typically, majority of authors are typical people, not born into their fame. They are often humbled by writing multiple works that are never even picked up by publishers, so when they finally gain popularity, they are grateful.

I wasn't sure if I'd heard of him or not, (the last name is familiar, last name pretty generic), so I googled him. I don't think I've heard of him, but I see he's won several awards.

I've never heard of him but I'm sure he enjoys some fame in certain circles. If I run out of things to read in this time of social distancing I'll check out his books.
