An Interview with Jessamyn West

Personally, I feel like it's like the medical profession where they say "first do no harm" I think in libraries it's "first don't scare off the patrons." by Michael Farrelly

An Interview with Audrey Niffenegger

I think Chicago's got its own vibe but it's a very practical, accessible kind of place. It's not quite the same thing as vampires in New Orleans or ghosts in Paris. It's kind of an unaccepted place for anything really strange to happen. by Veronica Bond

An Interview with J. T. LeRoy

It was always painful for me that no matter how encompassing you make the experience in words, it just cannot compete with movies. Movies are so in your face, and I want to get as close to that experience, I want to you to know what the weather feels like, I want you to know what it smells like, what kinds of plants are around you. And that takes a lot of work, but I want you in my Venus flytrap as much possible. by Litsa Dremousis
