What is your favorite word and why? My<br />
favorite word is actually in Portuguese:<br />
saudade. It doesn’t translate perfectly into<br />
English but it roughly means a deep longing for<br />
something lost or left behind. I learned it while<br />
living in Rio and still experience it as I think of<br />
that city and how much I love, and miss, it.<br />
If you could meet one writer, dead or alive,<br />
what question would you ask them and why?<br />
I think the most difficult book I’ve ever read is<br />
The Sound and The Fury. I definitely wouldn’t<br />
want to be one of those characters but I’d<br />
love to sit down with William Faulkner and ask<br />
him with which one he empathized most.<br />
“You are extraordinary in<br />
your limits, but your limits<br />
are extraordinary!”<br />
Gertrude Stein<br />
