  <about><![CDATA[I am a writer living in the Bay Area, author of three novels:  Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper, Someone Not Really Her Mother, and Ohio Angels.  I have a new novel, The Beauty of Ordinary Things, which is looking for a publisher now. I've been writing poems and children's books, and I've started a new novel.

I taught at Yale University from 1980-1991, and since then I've taught at various places, including Bread Loaf School of English.  Since my family's move to Palo Alto, CA, I've become a full-time writer.  

My greatest pleasures include my three children, my husband Bryan J. Wolf (an art historian at Stanford), BOOKS, walks, my dog, and travelling -- especially to Connecticut, where I lived for many years. ]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Virginia Woolf, Henry James, Ford Madox Ford, Elizabeth Bowen, Jean Rhys, and many more authors]]></influences>  <gender>female</gender>    <born_at>01/16/1951</born_at>
