I met you at a book signing at The Mount In Lenox yrs ago

We chatted as you signed my copy of your book and I shared with you that I grew up near her in North Bennington

I went to school with

her children and often heard her around town .. in Power’s market , sharing conversation with my gram who was secretary for the music and dance division at the college or she came to our Girl Scout troop to talk about writing

What I want to say is I always thought her speaking voice was distinctive and hearing this recording of her voice pleased me today no end

Thank you 🙏

Wondering what ever happened to the marvelous Kip Orr. What a respectful and profound response. And the clinking ice cubes are a delicious detail.

Thank you for the morsels behind this fascinating story. I love that raising the price of the story made it sell even harder. It gets into your head and sticks there. I can understand Jackson's frustration that The Lottery seemed to overshadow her other work, but it just shows that she had written something that resonated very deeply.

Seems like there was a movie made, oh, 30 years or so, about the and it showed the cemetery full of graves with the death dates all the same month and day, just different chronological years.
