It began simply enough. Last month in LA. A mother/daughter outing to a nail salon in Little Tokyo. A quiet Friday afternoon, nothing out of the ordinary. We anticipated an easy in and out. I was going to go with my usual mauve type color but Kate made a face. I picked up a bottle of blue. "This is pretty," I said. "Go with it," my daughter said. "Try something new." We agreed. I was going to... read more »

"Curious to hear what other people think. I like the writing, the coming of age story, but am waiting for someone to happen. It doesn't compare to say Old Filth, which I love.

I had to read this one back in college for a women's lit class. We spent the semester focusing on memoir/travel writers, and this was definitely a stand out. Mary Morris is a participator, not simply an observer. She unveils the true gritty, poign...

| It's not perfect but he's a real writer and it shows on every page. I loved it. Stayed with him and his story. In that really classic sense I learned to care for Nick as a character. | |

| I didn't think I'd want to lug around a 900 page book (and I do have a kindel), but I am lugging it around and love its great big expansive, spooky, somehow it all means something read. Very Murakami. Very much about the human heart. Love it. | |

Hi Mary:Glad to be connected. I listed your site on my blog http://theroadtopromise.blogspot.com/

I am good. At Kate's graduation this weekend, then back in NYC. Yes, come see me in NY. We'll have lunch at MOMA!
Loved seeing your books here today — we have the exact same taste. I LOVED March, I thought OK was spectacular (and I met her at Swarthmore recently) and had the same reaction to Brief Wondrous.HOw are you doing?
Hello, Miss Mary. So glad to see you here. And I have tucked into your head my desire to come see you and your kind invitation regarding the same. I await spring and a long-hoped for trip to NYC.
Margaret wrote: "Hi, Mary! Found a wonderful paper describing the library of Pope Sixtus IV the other day, and am about to incorporate some of the details into a scene. Hope your writing is going well, too."Hi Margaret, nice to hear from you. You know this student of mine has set up an online classroom for me with my private class and I'm thinking of doing the same for our Key West group. What do you think??? All I'm reading is school work these days, alas! I need something good. hope you are well. Mary
