It is true that I am a writer, and I was married to a composer, and I have lived in a small village in New England, but my children are not named Heracles and Persephone, and my daughter doesn't disappear underground every six months and emerge in the spring.

One of the things reading does, it makes your loneliness manageable if you are an essentially lonely person.

I'm so used to being misunderstood.
