There is a certain kind of nut who circulates at literary events and perhaps laughs too loudly at the speaker's jokes or jeers and boos her disapproval, ultimately claiming an intimate connection with the speaker which all too often devolves into stalking. I hope this woman keeps to her blog and doesn't decide to obey the many voices emerging from her tooth fillings.

I suppose she will never come to Europe for a reading - or will she? Oh, how I wish that I lived in the United States to be able to attend one of Joyce Carol Oates’ public appearances.
