Mishy Harman ’08 never wanted a unicycle, but he got one. It took him ten hours of labor at the Pfoho Grille to buy a replacement for the wheel that thieves lifted from his mountain bike last month.“I was devastated,” he said. “The wheel was more than half of the cost of the bike.” Harman is hardly the only Harvard student suddenly faced with missing or maimed means of transportation.

Martin isn't the best known of America's straight-up fantasy writers. That honor would probably go to upstart Christopher Paolini (Eragon), or Robert Jordan (the endlessly turning Wheel of Time series), or better yet to ageless grandmistress Ursula K.
