[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm ashamed that I'm here yet again, invested as I as the day before.

I found this video with Dawn Dorland that I found so insightful. She does a reading of the book she's working on (I sort of skimmed that part), but there's an interview at the end, particularly from 50:54 to the end that I found really interesting, where she talks about being an outcast growing up. Actually hearing her voice, I'm further of the belief that her NYT characterization does a huge disservice to her. Yes, I can see and hear why people might think she's overly earnest, overly sunny, but nothing to write home about? I honestly would be like, "Oh, what a really sincere person. Maybe a bit intense, but nice." And then honestly, just move on. Seriously. I meet people who are plenty more annoying or more obnoxious on the daily. Of course, this is just a tiny tidbit, but she comes off more socially capable and emotionally intelligent than I would have initially guessed.

The New York Times author is part of the same literary crowd, and doesn't want to publish the obvious truth because the author needs those same people. This isn't a "both sides" situation, as the facts that have come out show more and more, but when the wrongdoers are some of the gatekeepers of east coast literary society, the wrongdoers will be treated with kid gloves by other writers.[/quote]
