About Me

I loved Brightwood Elementary School in the 1940s, my table at La Pagode Café on Saigon's Rue Catinat and Iowa City's Kenny's Tavern in the 1950s, our apartment overlooking Monterey Bay in the 1960s, the Foreign Correspondents Club in Hong Kong in the 1970s, Mulligatawny soup at the Colonial Hotel, New Delhi in the 1980s, the last trolley stop in Grinzing, Austria in the 90s, and book people at the Singapore, Calcutta, Frankfurt, Moscow, and Leipzig book fair. In retirement, I rank time spent in the Reading Room and at my window seat before a glass of wine at the Madison Café in the Library of Congress. My favorite novel is an English translation of Madam Bovary ( my French is too shaky to attempt the original), and the best-researched and gracefully written book I have ever read is Isabel Wilkerson's The Warmth of Other Suns. Much of my book collection is related to places I have lived.
