“So What Kind of Writer Are You?”
I love books more than bagels. More than jewelry, or cashmere sweaters (and trust me, I love bagels, jewelry, and cashmere). Reading likely kept me from teen pregnancy, heroin, and robbing convenience stores with a badass boyfriend. I’ve read great books, good books, mediocre books, and books so awful they damaged my eyes.
Genre never determined how I ranked books (perhaps because, from the moment I could walk into a library, I chose titles through a mysterious mind alchemy). Then, I became a writer and had the literary caste system thrust into my face.
