I don’t really care who owns a sideshow like Twitter.

@peterstraubnyc This is the brilliance of Lost Boy Lost Girl and In The Night Room. Fiction is the truth, even if it isn’t the truth. And there’s hardly a better example I can think of than the Blue Rose Trilogy/Tim Underhill books

Basically, this interview reduced me to the oatmeal-mush stage.

Know what, our country reminds me of Watership Down: you get to live in this beautiful place, as long as you agree that now and then, randomly, one or more of your children might get picked off by someone far greedier, less liberal, and way more visionary than you.

Dear @peterstraubnyc it’s been 20 years since I flipped the book close that cold, December night in the ancient hills of Shimla, but Alma Mobley hasn’t stopped haunting my sleep ever since. There she was again last night, urging me to consider what might be on the other side.

Here we go: this is the real deal, and not just in books.

That book was carefully composed, and the Interludes written especially to appear where they do. I’ve always thought there was something special about that collection . Thank you for your generosity.

This was in the days of the dismal "broken doll" fad, so that explains the jacket. Full Circle was the film tie-in's papaperback jacket.

It may be that their plucky author threw himself into the gap, undergoing approx.15 years of lying on his back and discoursing to the ceiling, at times through tears, about whatever happened to be going through his mind for 45 minutes four times a day. It was like spelunking.
