What a delightful interview. And I was happy to hear that Kelly was re-reading "The Boys of My Youth," which is brilliant. Thank you, Jane, for this treat.

I just love reading the thoughts of brilliant people. Thanks for sharing this interview! As for a book that I find myself coming back to? I would have to say The Magicians by Lev Grossman. My twenties were painful and having a character to suffer alongside made things sting just a tiny bit less. I still pick it up when times get a little rough.

Me, too! And I find Kelly to be particularly brilliant. I'm glad you enjoyed the interview!

I wasn't familiar with that book but just googled it and it looks fantastic. I will have to check it out. I'm glad it got you through tough times!

What a smart and wise person! I’ll be looking for her books that I haven’t red. I lover her thought about being a ghost on a street corner. My family history is full of ghosts and spirits that accompany us for centuries. I hope to be one of the those ghosts for my family and hope I will be able to help them at times. But I’m down with helping random strangers, too.

Yes, I agree! It would be lovely to be a ghost for the family and to help out. And Kelly is so wise and tender and thoughtful! I love her answers.
