Enjoy the way you share SO much stuff, which is clearly the result of many weeks and decades of hard work, plus adventure, compressed into perky and poignant info-chatter. Inspiring!

Hermes was probably off on a travel anyway. Here's a question: Are writers artists? Craftsmen/women for sure. But doesn't "art" spring from a different well than using words to create?

OK, I skipped everything after the NYer part -- but I'll go back to read the rest -- to rush down here to congratulate you! CONGRATULATIONS! I know the feeling of submitting to them from way back. I love the illustration and I look forward to reading your story!

I know you sent this two months ago, but I just now read the New Yorker story. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I adored “The Plaza”, which I miraculously happened to read in the then-current issue despite being about 18 months out with New Yorkers that I usually fish out at random. I immediately bought “I Have Some Questions For You” which I literally just finished and came to find a place to tell you how wonderful and amazing it was from start to finish. Thank you! It is a true and profound joy to read excellent and insightful writing, especially in this day and age. You have a newly minted huge fan.

That conversation between you and Meg Wolitzer was so much fun. I will look forward to tuning into the next conversation in what is already shaping up to be a great series.

The paywall is up on The Plaza, decisions, decisions. “I think I can……..” Congratulations. Great art x 2.

I absolutely loved The Plaza! After reading it, I listened to you read it on The Writer's Voice and loved it even more! I will go back to it again and again, for pleasure and inspiration. Brava. A masterwork.
