What are
you passionate about these days?
I work for
a university library, and Information Literacy is part of our orientation for
new students. But this shouldn’t be
taught 17+ years into a young person’s life; instead, it should be introduced
by first grade. Especially since so many
kids have access to internet-linking devices before they reach school age.
What do you do to unwind and relax?
My
husband, Joel, always makes me laugh, and my kitty, Tallulah, is the epitome of
chill. I hang out with them and a
tumbler of whiskey and everything feels a lot better. In The Beforetimes, a long drive with lots of
music was a good substitute. I once
drove to Iowa to work out the kinks of writer’s block. (Success!)
What
literary pilgrimages have you gone on?
In high
school, we were assigned to read The
House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros.
I was blown away by the book, and excited that such a great thing was
written in my backyard, so to speak.
Although Chicago has a Mango Street, the setting was fictionalized, so
the house doesn’t really exist. I was
heartbroken when I found this out!
Cisneros
did, however, live near Humboldt Park, so I can at least visit the place where
such a talented author grew up. I like
to think some of her skill might transfer through osmosis.
