Author.
Elizabeth Kostova, author of The Historian, has been
a visiting teacher in my class this quarter.
I went to her reading tonight from her new book, The Swan Thieves,
and I've been very impressed with her -
ability to crank out these long, complex, historical novels,
dedication to and knowledge of prose,
wonderful coaching and advice to us in class,
love for Henry James' The Portrait of a Lady
and Wuthering Heights, one of my all-time favorite books,
and for being such a lovely, warm, genuine person.
These opportunities are pretty great.
I will have to look her up!
