Influences

As a little girl, I listened to the stories told and the opinions expressed by my large, extended, verbal family. As a young woman and writer I loved and learned from Doris Lessing, Henry Miller, Grace Paley and Isaac Bashevis Singer.

Thanks, Huntington. I certainly intend to include lots of By Heart information on Red Room when the book's actually here. You've created such a great, helpful, resource for all of us.
