I was tagged by Kelli Russell Agodon for
this Q&A on my next book.
Here are my answers and you can go to her blog to see what
she's up to (I will be tagging Susan Rich & Joannie Kervran Stangeland).
What is the
working title of your book?
House of Mystery
Where did the
idea come from for the book?
This new book picks up where The Little Office of the Immaculate Conception left off, delving more deeply into mysteries
large and small -- everything from The Big Bang to how a girdle disappeared
from a childhood clothesline.
What genre does
your book fall under?
Poetry
Which actors
would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
The part of Jesus could perhaps be played by Charlton Heston.
Either Heston or my favorite sanitation engineer.
It would be nice if Leonardo Da Vinci, The Mona Lisa, Frida
Kahlo, and William DeKooning's women could play themselves. Same goes
for the Neanderthals.
What is the
one-sentence synopsis of your book?
This book explores the mysteries large and small: Where do we
come from? Is there a God? Who stole my girdle?
How long did it
take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
Two or so years.
Who or what
inspired you to write this book?
My parents, Leonardo DaVinci, my children, the ancient
Egyptians, and quite a few others.
What else about
your book might pique the reader’s interest?
There's a poem about ancient Roman sex smack in the middle of
the book.
