Write it down, but it doesn't mean you're not just telling stories

[sovay]

Ainsley, who sometimes hijacks spectre_general's account, found this for me: "The Space Between," the interview-article about me that appeared a few days ago in the Lexington Minuteman. I feel absurdly significant: I merit three pages in the arts section? It's a highly complimentary piece of writing. The quotes seem accurate to what I can remember from phone conversation. There are, I suppose, minor inaccuracies; but past one peculiar mistake (I only wish I could take an interview in Latin to graduate with my PhD), I'm pleased beyond words.

Her stories and poems in both collections are often the fusion between the real and supernatural in which the two are written not as opposites, but grinning sides of the same coin . . . In her fiction, Taaffe is often to myth what a passionate professor of Latin is to modern languages.

Can I put this sort of thing on the back of the book?

Thinking further about Persephone, I was going to write a post to you asking if you were seasonal on an hourly basis, daily, weekly, or if you were somewhere between the seasons and the worlds, so thank you for linking us to the interview. I think my questions, for now, are asked simply because I'm trying to form the person behind the work, and so I particularly liked small things, like your father telling unfinished stories. That's the problem with having contact with an author--where usually I only have the work as body, here, the source can contribute to my, still imagined, formation of you. And, Sonya, congratulations, again. I'll be happy to continue congratulating you--so, Praise and Recognition, keep coming!
