Hey Kirie, thanks so much for reading The Empty Armchair and for loving it and for finding me and leaving such a wonderful comment. I’ve been working all day on my new novel and it’s been tough and slow going. Your comment made it all worth it. And I wanted to be sure to respond today so I could get in on the Ellen Gilchrist / Shakespeare train. I would love to hear more about the Shakespeare group in Ojai. And how lucky are you that Annie Dillard was your thesis chair! I have corresponded with her but never met her. (I’m in Provincetown as I write to you!) I look forward to getting to know you and to reading your writing.

I found your blog via finding Contrary and reading “Armchair” and loving it. When I like a writer, I want to know everything about her, and thus I landed, eventually, on your blog. Just today I had recalled reading Ellen Gilchrist’s Writing Life, also one of my favorite books, about her Shakespeare group, and also just today, I tracked down such a group in the village where I’m currently living, Ojai, CA. One final “sync:” Annie Dillard was my thesis chair when I was learning to write.

Naomi, I’m getting so behind! Thank you for your comment. I am enjoying listening on tape–the emphasis of the professional readers often adds so much more meaning than I got on my reading. Off I go to your post…

Having read them all in college, I can say that listening on tape would be helpful for some of them. I thought of you yesterday as I was putting this post together of my recent reads. http://www.poeticaperture.com/2013/09/25/september-book-love-what-ive-been-reading-lately/

OK, last night I DID at least pull it off the shelf and began. I’m not confident I’ll succeed simply because the language, though SO beautiful, has always been too cryptic to me 🙁 We’ll see!

When I taught Shakespeare at BU I recommended it to all my students (can’t say that many of them signed up for an extra several-hundred-page book, though!). Happy reading!
