My literary hero's descendant lives right near me - and he's a muffin. Should I????

When I say literary hero, I really mean a hero. Someone who you will ALL have heard of. You will know one of his plays for certain - been performed countless times and made into at least one film. One of his novels just got made into a film.

Anyway, with the help of twitter and facebook, an old school pal with knowledge and an unsuspecting mutual friend, I have managed to locate his job and old university - same city as mine! Our city is not big, I may even met him somewhere before and just not known!

I know it sounds terrible but if we mated, my children would have his blood. He is the only direct descendant of this literary hero.

I need to meet this person, yes??
