...anthology called Stories and Poems for Extremely Intelligent Children of All Ages, which is, in a sense, my anti- Harry Potter anthology, because I loathe Harry Potter. Those books are hopeless and massively cliched--bad thinking and bad writing. And they will vanish.

He professed his regard for Lewis ("He knows I love both him and his mother"), said that all his bad-mouthing had only been to hype the fight, and suggested that he'd like a rematch...
