Let me read you a story

[ellenkushner]

John Scalzi wrote it. It's a novelette, The Sagan Diary, ". . .the thoughts of Jane Sagan, as she looks over her life after the events of The Ghost Brigades."

We had quite a time making the recording on my primitive equipment - but in future, all will be well. We have Taken Steps. Freddie Mac has created a home studio in our diningroom : 1909, I'd like to introduce you to 2007. Enchantée.

(Need more Scalzi? Try the interview we did in August.)

Hmm...We have so much Stuff lining every available surface, it's hard to know! If you're looking at the solo photo of me, then the objects are (from L to R) a ceramic fairy Delia bought in Provincetown 20 yrs ago; a small Japanese(?) wooden vase; my Gabriel Award for one of my radio shows; the Sabbath candlesticks my Aunt Hope gave us for our wedding 10 years ago; umm...another radio award? a bud vase? a ceramic oil-lamp menorah we can't get to light; Delia's mother's crystal decanter, and a green glass vase hand-blown by Henry Jenkins' wife Cynthia, who gave it to me when I admired it extravagently last year. Quite a spectrum - and, I assure you, just the tip of the iceberg.

I am delighted that you're getting stuff from the library! Libraries rule!

There's a life's story just on that mantle piece.

The Jones Library in Amherst is nothing short of amazing. And it is free too. Best. Library. Ever.
