GoneI've just posted a recent interview with Gwendolen Gross, novelist and author of When She Was Gone, as well as many other books. Wendy (and Ann Cefola) and I graduated from the same MFA class at Sarah Lawrence College (back in the olde pre-Internet days).

We discuss the border between our personal lives and our sense of our neighborhood,
how to assemble a novel with a "gravitational" central character who
drives the story, the motives of characters and opportunities of plot,
pacing and point of view.
