She was delightful. Such a nice Tennessee girl, very comical in her expression about arrogant neurosurgeons and mottley old women who try to denigrate the arduous labor of being a novelist. I took heart to her style almost instantaneously. I am heeding her advice of writing for my own pleasure. Read feverishly and write copiously because after all the jumble of words, something pur and beautiful will emerge. Just started her non-fiction " Truth and Beauty". She makes yo take a dive into her life with no warning or preamble. I love her style.
