Q: What made you get into thrillers and what do you love about them? Sometimes they work and other times I have a lot of revising to do! Each book is different, in my experience. Either the story develops into something or it doesn’t – I’ve started and abandoned a countless number of books! The twists come to me as I write. I really just get an idea and start writing. Q: What does your writing process look like? Do you always know the twists you’ll write ahead of time, or do those come in later? That became a lot easier when I got my first computer! At some point, I wanted to try writing my own stories. I loved reading when I was a child, and that continued as an adult. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think it was a natural extension of being such a big reader.

I dare my feet to walk me to the bathroom so I can take a whiz, and then I lope back out to my bedroom, and all of this cardio makes me hot enough to formally debate “cooling-off options” that don’t involve leaving my room.

Like if I say it enough times, the air-conditioning fairy will arrive. ![]() “I have seriously got,” I say again, crawling to the side of the bed and tricking my body into standing upright, “to get a new air conditioner.” And then, a little louder: “I am requesting a new air conditioner from the universe.” I actually say this out loud, just to hear a voice. “I have got to get a new air conditioner.” This is the universe’s way of showing it has a sense of humor, since I am personally going on my sixth straight month of record-breaking lows. We are going on our second straight week of record-breaking highs here. ![]() Maybe the only thing worse than a midwestern winter is a midwestern summer, especially when your AC is broken.

Readers can now access a digital reproduction of the Bodleian’s “Arch.G c.7” at any time, for nothing: one of several Folios online. The First Folio fixed the Shakespeare canon for posterity (it lacks only “Pericles” and “The Two Noble Kinsmen”) and even-via Martin Droeshout’s frontispiece of the balding playwright-his physical image. But 18 Folio items had never seen print before-including “Julius Caesar”, “Macbeth”, “The Tempest” and “Twelfth Night”. Fifty small “quarto” editions of individual Shakespeare plays appeared between 15, and “Henry IV” and “Richard III” proved particularly popular. This large-format volume, around 950 pages long, not only gathered 36 out of Shakespeare’s 38 surviving plays, it was also the cornerstone of his subsequent renown, which 400 years later extends to parts of the world he never knew existed.

I thought how when I got out of the hospital I would never again walk down the sidewalk without giving thanks for being one of those people, and for many years I did that - I would remember the view from the hospital window and be glad for the sidewalk I was walking on.Ī new book by Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout is cause for celebration. It was May, and then June, and I remember how I would stand and look out the window at the sidewalk below and watch the young women - my age - in their spring clothes, out on their lunch breaks I could see their heads moving in conversation, their blouses rippling in the breeze. During the day, the building’s beauty receded, and gradually it became simply one more large structure against a blue sky, and all the city’s buildings seemed remote, silent, far away.
