>> In September 1990 I was in Paris to brush up my French. One afternoon I was walking the 16th arrondissement and turned into one of those tiny, narrow alleys. From the other direction came Austrian author Peter Handke who is known for his bad mood in public. (At a press conference he once told a journalist: "Gehn' Sie und lassen Sie sich ficken!") The problematic thing about the concrete situation was that the alley, as already said, was very narrow and small, and so we had to find a careful way to pass each other by without accident. Well, we succeeded and, to be honest, I enjoyed the asymmetrical perspective. Handke, who realized that I had recognized him, knew nothing about me, but I knew so many things about him. This made him aggressive, as I could see during the actual passing by, but since he's not grown tall he didn't say anything. 
>> 
>> Some weeks ago I saw Joachim Lottmann, whose funny novels "Deutsche Einheit" and "Unter Ärzten" I just had read, in Hamburg on Eppendorfer Baum. First I wasn't sure and thought "Is this perhaps  Lottmann?", but in this very moment he, although more than 20 meters away, turned his head into my direction and started to stare at me in a very paranoid way. Prominent people do have antennas for this. Yes, it was Lottmann. My smile did not really relax him.
