Lois McMaster Bujold:
As former fellow____________( Columbusite, Columbuser, Columbusonian, etc, etc), I feel like I've seen some interesting and familiar settings in your work, particularly in The Sharing Knife. In the Vorkosigan Saga, I always picture Impsec headquarters as looking a bit like the nihilistic Ohio Historical Society in Columbus. A) Are you familiar with this building? B) If so, am getting it right?

Yes, the landscapes of The Sharing Knife are indeed drawn from my Ohio childhood (now mostly paved.) I don't offhand know the building, though. There's a lot of so-called Brutalist (if I'm getting the name right) architecture around, though, as 20th C. architects did regrettable things with concrete.
