Introduction | I'm an expat writer living and traveling in/out of Pecs, Hungary, with my husband (David Rozgonyi, best author I know, incandescent storymaster, next big thing). I've written 1 book, Logodaedely, or Sleight-of-Words: a dictionary of the imagination, consisting of brief fictions & meditations to match 160 obscure, antiquated, otherwise curious words from the OED. I’m writing a novel, Decoherence, about astronomy, love, & death; a process heartsplitting, fun, terrifying. I'm the daughter of an extraordinary astrophysicist & a brilliant librarian. My brothers are heroes. In 2007 I graduated from CO State University, a happily useless BA in writing & philosophy of science. I have been lucky to visit some neat places: perched on an Albanian bunker, lived out of a VW in an Adriatic fjord, seen Siberia under a solar eclipse, napped on Irish cliffs, eaten unknown fruit in Cambodia, danced on Turkish ferries, & got married in a Buddhist temple in Burma. I think all people are wondrous. After a car accident & 2 brain surgeries, I have a question-mark-shaped scar, bad depth perception & double vision. I like to think of these as incidental metaphors. |
Interests | I write, mostly, and I'm into the philosophy of science because I can't do anything with it at all, and I make useless collages, and write, and read. |
Favorite Movies | I made a shrine to the Blues Brothers, and at times wish reality conformed to the laws of spontaneous song, like in Singing in the Rain. |
Favorite Music | Paul Simon is better than anyone else who sings, but I also dig Bowie and Ani Difranco, Ella Fitzgerald and Stephane Grappelli and Anita O'Day, and shamefully CKY (why?), and my little brother's band |
Favorite Books | Pale Fire (Vladimir Nabokov), The Rings of Saturn (W. G. Sebald), Invisible Cities (Italo Calvino), many many many many more... |
