What a thrill to chat with the outstanding Alice McDermott about her latest book, Absolution, in support of the Washington Independent Review of Books (WIRoB). Thanks to WIRoB Board President Jennifer Yacovissi for organizing the event, to Board member Therese Droste for hosting at her beautiful home, and to everyone who attended. My only regret was running out of time. I could talk to Alice all day!
