Really, we don’t require restaurant recommendations from authors, but what the heck. As it turns out, Laurie Notaro is perfectly willing to open a vein and share. Powells.com interviews Notaro about turning misfortune (lack of publisher interest) into fortune (self-publishing and thereby garnering major publisher interest). The lengthy interview discusses, among other things, her new book I Love Everybody (and Other Atrocious Lies): True Tales of a Loudmouth Girl and how being a dork is okay. We cannot begin to explain our relief.
