When I walked into Barnes & Noble to hear Geoffrey Zakarian interview Martha Stewart last night, I kept looking around for the crowd. But it was a quiet night in the looming bookstore, and I rode at three escalators up before I heard the flutter of distant applause. I entered the room (open to the public) to Martha interrupting Geoffrey's intro: "You've got 17 Emmy's, right?" he asked her. "Nineteen," she shot back, deadpan. Then they laughed broadly and the crowd lit up.
I came across your blog a few day ago and WOW!! I love all the quiet books you make. I love the idea of doing a name book for your kids. The handstitching gives it such a distinctive look. You did such a great job! I am SO doing this for my daughter and son that's on the way. Come over and check out my blog sometime too.
Hollywood was a surprising destination for what Mayes herself describes as "a quiet book." As a creative writing professor at SFSU, she had six books of poetry published before she wrote "Under the Tuscan Sun." Not surprisingly, the memoir is rife with metaphor, literary allusion and internal rhyme. It's a tale of an American exploring the landscape and language of Italy -- and the food. There are two chapters devoted entirely to Mayes' recipes for Italian delicacies such as winter pears in vino nobile. The writing is lovely, but, as movie producers told Mayes for many years, there's no dramatic storyline. 2ff7e9595c
