How to Set Yourself on Fire in the SD Union Tribune Spring Arts Preview

This was fun. Thanks to the Union-Tribune for a fun and insightful interview, and sending a photographer to my house for some really weird close-ups that no author should have to endure. The UT picked a writer, a visual artist, a dancer, an actor, a classical musician, and a jazz musician. I feel pretty honored to have been considered.

Quotes by Julia Dixon Evans (?)

“I try to remind myself not to frighten this stranger who, standing across from me, forms some sort of ancestral mirror of two tormented souls.”

“There's nothing wrong with me. This has been medically proven, once. My former insurance company stopped honoring my requests for more diagnostics and labs. A therapist gave me medicine but I didn't take it because she didn't even run tests. She based her diagnosis on my answers, on the things I told her, and I bullshitted so much I couldn't even remember which parts were genuine. How could I take a pill based on that? And what if it worked? What if my bullshit was the right-sized hole for a pill-shaped fix? I felt helpless in the face of someone helping me.”

“I think about my mother. I lived inside of her for forty weeks and three days. I didn’t breathe except for the oxygen she gave me l straight from her blood. She grew a new organ just to feed me. I learned to move while curled toward her guts. I grew fingernails and hair before I ever left her body. I pissed and shit meconium tucked up inside her. While still in the womb, my own ovaries filled with six, maybe seven million eggs of my own- six, maybe seven million possible children of mine, my cells dividing and regenerating to the thrum of my mother's heart. Everything about me was finished while we were still together.”
― Julia Dixon Evans, How to Set Yourself on Fire
