You have some really interesting, strong women characters in your works. What do you think about gendered writing? Do men write differently than women? How do you write from a female point of view?
T. Coraghessan Boyle
Don't know how to answer that, Kathy. I take it as a challenge to be able to inhabit anybody, no matter gender, age, ethnicity. We are all human and we all have the same biological urges and metaphysical questions.

I'm teaching a master's degree course in International Development this semester, and I have assigned the short story Top of the Food Chain in a couple of weeks. I think it's a classic version of using linear thinking to solve complex problems. And it displays the dangers of arrogance of thinking you know more about people's worlds than they do. And above all it's funny as hell. Any insights for my students?
