"She wanted to get away from herself, and conversation was the only means of escape she knew." - Edith Wharton,
The House of Mirth (1905)
"Thanks for having me on your show. An hour seemed like
a long time to talk about myself, but you made it fun, especially after
I got warmed up." —Billy Collins, Nine Horses, Random
House
"I really enjoyed talking to you. Thanks for making it
such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I had fun, and appreciate all
your support and good questions--a lot!" —Aimee Bender, An
Invisible Sign of My Own, Anchor
"I woke at the end of the hour hoping I'd said anything,
a single thing that was interesting, but please know I spoke frankly and
if I was advisory (lesson-ary) I hope it was useful to your listeners.
I understood immediately that you knew what writers were up to. It was
a privilege to be included in your list of writers."— Ron Carlson, A
Kind of Flying, Norton
