An interesting interview. I can't help wondering a bit about JCO's
statement that she has only positive feelings for her mother; yet,
fictionally, she's contrived to murder her. Well, having the death be a
murder no doubt makes for a more dramatic book. Is this supposed to be a
young adult novel? Somehow, I picked up a vague sense that it might be, but
there was nothing explicit about it. Maybe I'm reading the interview wrong.
