Karen Joy Fowler
The clothes. The first writer I ever met was Agatha Christie. She was attending a slide show her husband was presenting at Stanford in Palo Alto where I was in high school. It was an evening event and she showed up in a lovely gown and enormous, pink, fuzzy bedroom slippers. That may have been the moment I saw how great being a writer would be. How great, a life in which you wear your bedroom slippers everywhere.

Dear Karen, I absolutely loved "Booth." Thank you. Candace Siegle, Greedy Reader. Oh! I have to ask a question! You touch on their lives post-John. Your depiction of 19th century theatrical life was fascinating, and politically, I wonder about the Booths during Reconstruction. There are so many parallels to today in this story, and a Booth follow up would be wonderful? Just a thought . . . ;-)
