Hi Anita I just got a copy of Wandering Between Two World today after reading your story in the Best Spiritual Writing 2000. May I ask, about the writers that have influenced you? Particularly, essayists. Regards Jim

Anita Mathias Hi Jim, I enjoy memoirs in the form of discrete essays. My favourite memoir in this genre is Nabokov's "Speak, Memory." For the memoir which I plan to publish in May, I was influenced by Patricia Hampl's "A Romantic Education," by Annie Dillard's "An American Childhood," by Mary McCarty's "Memories of a Catholic Childhood," and by C. S. Lewis "Surprised by Joy," and Thomas Merton's "The Seven-Storey Mountain." I prefer memoir more than books of essays, I must say, though I did enjoy E B White's essays a lot!
Thank you for buying Wandering Between Two Worlds. Reviews will be gratefully received! :-)
