Ms Meaker,
This is still on the theme of what you've read, but just
going back a few years. During your Gold Medal period, can
you name some of the authors and books that influenced your
writing? Authors are sometimes compared to earlier writers
that they never read. I think that Boucher compared your Vin
Packer style to O'Hara, didn't he? I've only read O'Hara's
APPOINTMENT IN SAMARRA, but I can see how a comparison is
justified. You both deal with the corrosive effects of a
harsh society on the human psyche, and you both have an
element of social history in your work.
Thanks, miker
