Short, but candid

Insightfully presented with smooth interview style. Always interesting to hear the creative process being discussed by a master.

A National Treasure

Ann Patchett...sigh...she is so engaged, so impassioned and pragmatic. She has never disappointed; fiction or nonfiction, all words are woven poetically and with such a beautiful rhythm. I thank you.

Better wirter than interviewee

Would you try another book from Ann Patchett and/or the narrator?

Love her books, the interview irritated me. I found her self agrandizing and annoying.

What do you think your next listen will be?

'

How did the narrator detract from the book?

'

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Ann Patchett Interview?

'

Any additional comments?
