Thinking back through my books, I'm not remember one immediately that only has one friend (though I can think of a couple who only fully fleshed out one but hinted at more) unless, like you say, they give a good reason for it.

Oof, but yeah. He talked about that situation in the interview, too. Just horrifying.

Just listened to my first interview by him. What an interesting guy! What did you like about the book?

I've never heard a writer of literary fiction look down on any other writers. I've heard people say they had instructors toss off about that, but that hasn't been my experience either. To anyone saying that has been their experience-- I'M TRULY SORRY, they were wrong.

"I felt like I was on the emotional journey of the character and had to know what was going to happen next." Thanks for the five star review, Cheryl...music to my ears.

The reports on the demise of reading are overstated, based on my 14 hours of flights yesterday. So that's good. #readers

I'm so, so weary of authors tearing each other down based on genre. I don't get it and I never heard it until I got on social media, despite being surrounded by readers. Be the one who helps stop it. There's room for everyone and the reading they enjoy.

Do you rate/review a book when you love it? What about when you hate it? Does anyone else feel conflicted about leaving bad feedback? I mean as someone in the industry?

"If...you have an impulse to become and maintain yourself as a deep reader, then the internet is very good for you...But if...you don’t have standards and you don’t know how to read, then the internet is a disaster for you because it’s a great gray ocean of text in which you simply drown.”

I've never seen them have a problem with what you're doing not matching up with what you're saying, but yah, the second part might be a problem. Can you, um, call me if that ever happens so I can be there? Thanks. Owe you.
