Southeast Review

So if I'm so "extremely talented and driven" why do I feel so fat and ineffectual most days? And, yeah, while we're here, prone to lethargy, paranoia, pessimism, angst, and, well, we'll do a whole blog on hypochondria another day, and add an exclusive interview with my daughter, who decided this evening that her first novel would be about her parents. Well, what she really decided was that she wanted to hear the same children's book nine times on a snow day. Thank you, Charles Dodd White, for your fine review of Fight for Your Long Day.
