I bought her books. Honest! (grin)<br /><br />It is interesting to hear what she says about the unconscious references, isn't it?Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-56358070576078579892010-03-23T14:57:25.128-05:002010-03-23T14:57:25.128-05:00Thank you, Lesa, for the virtual trip to Tucson. ...Thank you, Lesa, for the virtual trip to Tucson. Having attended several Alice Hoffman readings in the Boston area (am I a "groupie"?), I especially enjoyed your comments on her presentation. A question similar to the blackbirds reference was asked in one reading I attended regarding the color "red." As with the blackbirds, Ms. Hoffman said it was not a conscious reference--even as we all were holding copies of Blackbird House with a pair of red-ish boots on the cover!Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456358514871810611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-79674431901923512352010-03-20T08:31:45.130-05:002010-03-20T08:31:45.130-05:00Nothing is any better, Beth!
