I thought I knew what it was, but it feels like an entirely different element.
Still Livesis risky and provocative not necessarily what a broad Book Club would go for.
why are we culturally obsessed with beautiful, mutilated women?
Not that I had any victims in mind.
You evoke Los Angeles so beautifully in the book.
It evolves so fast, that practically every time you walk out the door, its a different city.
With so many more freaking people in it!
Youre telling a feminist story through the lens of the art world.
I was more of a book person, so I had no stake in this stuff, career-wise.
I could just watch and learn.
Also, the art world seemed like a perfect backdrop for a narrative about our increasingly visual culture.
Any authors inspire you withStill Lives?
Any books specifically?Tana French and Kate Atkinson are pole stars.
I also wrote one to Jane Campion, but I dont know where to send that one, either.
