Man or woman in motion. Dance and theater, both which I consider among the purist art forms, because–can you get a lot closer to primal beauty than a man or woman expressing himself or herself through the movement of his or her own body? Is there anything more amazing than the culmination of hours of practice and discipline, that razor separation between control, discipline and unfettered expression?

Sarah - I agree. I'm just mesmerized by Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. And there's one - is it called Welty? - that's photos and text. This makes me hungry to spend an afternoon in the photography section of the bookstore (where I've never gone before) to see what's there. PD - I love that street scene too. It's comical from that angle. Stephanie - Some things didn't come through in the interview, and that's what it's like to work with Wayne. He was someone I handpicked to work with me because he is so well-read, such a thorough reader, a great team player, a hard worker, a critical thinker, and then in the end, he has just a really delicate touch when communicating with authors and suggesting edits. He's good and solid and reliable. Lance - Next time you’re in NY, we’re doing KGB for sure.
