Not only for linking to my piece about F. Scott Fitzgerald, but for doing so in such a thoughtful way, and for including me in the same breath with Anne Enright.

Congratulations Sheila! I thought it insightful and beautifully written too.
So cool!!!
That Anne Enright piece he links to is very cool, too. She’s so strange – I love her writing.
Speaking of Enright, that interview she gave at my college that I emailed you about is available to download as a mp3 from http://english.nuim.ie/news.shtml if you (or any of your other readers) are interested. Lots of gems about writing and being an author to be heard!
Catherine!! That is so so awesome – I LOVED that email you sent me, I ate it up – can’t wait to listen to it!
Glad to be of service! My email didn’t convey half the humor or insights that she projects, it’s a GREAT listen. I listened to it the other night in bed and was entertained and inspired all over again. Hope you enjoy.
Catherine – I think I might have said to you that I had a hard time getting thru The Gathering – it had nothing to do with the writing, which is absolutely superb – I just found it really difficult to BE with those people.
However: every interview I’ve heard from her, every quip, every quote – is so unbelievably insightful and funny and inspiring that I can’t get enough. I am a huge fan.
I love her comments on being an Irish writer – and not only that – but being a FEMALE Irish writer in the typically cock-swinging male irish-writer environment – and what that has meant for her.
I also love her for loving (and getting) John McGahern – which I think a lot of people (even Irish people) didn’t really get.
You are a fantastic writer… this is just further conformation.
