Anne Tyler (October 25, 1941) is one of the most famous American novelists, winning a Pulitzer for Breathing Lessons, in 1989. She was born in Minnesota and now lives in Baltimore. The author of The Accidental Tourist, which won a National Book Award, (1985) is averse to interviews. NPR felt honored to have the opportunity to do one in 2012. One thing we learned then was that she hoped when she died, it would be when she had a new cat.
Kevin Mitnick was born on August 6, 1963. He was at one time the most wanted criminal computer hacker in the world. Nowadays he is a rich (and deservedly so) computer security consultant. His latest book (2008) is titled: "No Tech Hacking: A Guide to Social Engineering, Dumpster Diving, and Shoulder Surfing." Mitnick co-authored this book, and I am not sure if he or his co-author has a cat, but one of them definitely does. This book mentions shredding old mail to use for cat litter.
