Portland is quickly becoming one of those lovely, lush Third World countries where kinda-rich people retire with their money.
Fiction is no longer the dominant storytelling device of our time. In the 19th century it worked great, and fiction was the king, but it's not the king any more.
I write in a noisy, distracting world so the books can be read there.
The world of American politics is more contentious than it has ever been in my lifetime.
The Costume Institute Benefit became my baby. It was something that I lived, breathed, day and night.
