Dinner Guests


K. asked me, OK, which five dead people would you invite to your dinner party? Let's see: The Marquis de Sade, Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Dorothy Parker... This is so hard. Andy Warhol? John Lennon? Gandhi? Paramahansa Yogananda? Sylvie Plath? Jean-Paul Sartre? I think I would definitely need talkers, people who can hold forth in a salon setting without killing each other with the salad forks. And Miller and Nin as a combo might be kind of lame. As to alive people: David Bowie, Bret Easton Ellis, Francis Bacon (is he alive?), Nithyananda, Joan Didion.
