I'd just finished The Gravedigger's Daughter so this was ever so timely. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteGlad the timing was good, SFP. Ms. Oates is one of my very favorite writers and I love the way that she so often has something new to offer me.
ReplyDeleteTerrific video clip, Sam.
ReplyDeleteAn author that I have [regretfully] never read but have, for a long time now, WANTED to read.
And now, moreso!

Admittedly, she's probably not for everyone, Cip, but she's definitely one of my all-time favorite writers. I look forward to everything that she publishes today with the same excitement that I've had for her writing for the last twenty years.
