Who Would be Simon on ‘Fiction Idol’?

Tom Kealey’s got a funny-slash-scary post up on the Creative Writing MFA Handbook blog.

The premise: Let’s imagine that MassMediaLand actually cared about writing and fiction, and things were surreal enough to support a reality TV show styled on an MFA fiction workshop. Given all that, what lascivious, pompous, greasy, hairy-chested writing instructor would be Simon Cowell? One commenter suggested Michiko Kakutani, but I don’t think she’s necessarily lascivious.

Thankfully, I can’t nominate anyone from my writing program. Can you?
