I knew there had to be more to that story when I saw it. OSS explains a lot.
I found her book on amazon. It is out of print and costs $42. She sounds interesting. But not THAT interesting.
I often wonder where writers get their ideas for stories. Over the past several weeks there have been probably a dozen good movies (some have already been made poorly, others not yet made)just in the short side stories from the NYT.
This is such a goldmine of knowledge. I will miss these posts in September.
