Writers having fun

I was reading about James McBride, and learned that he is a very accomplished musician. He and other famous writers have a somewhat less-accomplished band called The Rock Bottom Remainders. They play a few gigs each year as a benefit for literacy efforts. They're playing Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Boston next month for the benefit of Haitian schools.

See if you can identify the writers from their caricatures. Click to enlarge. Scroll down for the names.
