As Lee Smith's character Ivy Rowe says in FAIR AND TENDER LADIES, "It's the writing that signifies." Absolutely, Karl. It’s work.

Having seen RSOLB in one of our workshop sessions, I can add my enthusiastic recommendation of it. But I can hardly believe I haven't read his novels (only his memoir)! Thank you, Darnell.

I'm out of town next week and plan to watch the documentary as many times as I can while I'm away. For reading I'm taking Fay plus Father and Son. I haven't picked out my passages, but my five favorite books for this week are Cold Mountain, To Kill A Mockingbird, The 13th Tale, Sufficient Grace, and The Poisonwood Bible.
