Re: JCO: Interview

I really enjoyed the interview.  The photos of JCO were ephermeral and haunting.  She  has a lovely face.  It surprises me to learn that JCO identifies with  Ariah in "The Falls".  Ariah is  a monster.  Her surly reticence surely drove the minister over the edge.  Had she been more open and friendly toward her new husband maybe they could have come to an understanding.
