Dorette

Dorette asked Frances Mayes:

In Under Magnolia, (and all your work, really...) the rich sound details ~~ "I imagine fleas and snoring and sweat and couplings.." weave through the narrative as well as the beautiful scents of memory, "an outbreak of quartz, a clutch of blue bachelor's buttons" and I wonder what path in the present enticed you to begin the walk back to Fitzgerald?

Danielle Ste. Marie

Danielle Ste. Marie asked Frances Mayes:

I have attached myself to your imagery of the yellow table under the tree in "Tuscan Sun". For me, it evokes daydreams of simple meals taken leisurely dosed with plenty of smiles and light hearts. Is there an actual yellow table? What did it mean to you?
