An old question Mona Simpson is X’s sister, and she has a pretty impressive list of awards under her belt, including a Guggenheim Award, a Whiting Book Award, and a literature prize from the American Academy for Arts and Letters. On top of that, shes an English professor at UCLA. On top of even that, shes also a professor of literature and language at Bard College In 1986, Simpson wrote an award-winning book titled Anywhere But Here, which was eventually turned into a movie starring Natalie Portman and Susan Sarandon. Heres the crazy part: She didnt even know her brother was X until she was 25 years old. By that point, she had worked her way up from abject poverty to middle class on her own, busting her ass to make it in the writing world. But still, she is overshadowed to a great extent by her brother. Identify X. We all have heard his name. And some of us may even not like him as much as the entire world seems to. Not for Quest founding members :p
