At Café des Artistes
Over a large, luscious slice of tiramisu cake:
Mother: I understand, Sweetie, you want to be appreciated for your full worth.
Daughter: Yes, and for my full girth.
T. Jefferson Parker at the recent reading for his new novel Iron River:
I’ve had a lot of editors, but none I’ve wanted to run away from.
In response to “What do you think of J.D. Salinger?” I like him. I wish there were more of him to like.
[Literature] forces you to ask a clear question and then shut up and listen.
I’m a writer because my second grade report card said, “Doesn’t work well with others.”
