We did not mention Mr. Junker's role in our report in The Bay Area Intellect because we try to keep our articles as short and crisp as possible. While Mr. Junker's questions were excellent, we believe, as a general rule, that a blog reader might lose interest if we do not focus exclusively on the author and what the author says.

She had not. But Katherine had. She is bright, funny, edgy, and serious. and a good writer, which is more than we can say for Sittenfeld. Katherine and I hugged on meeting and on taking leave. you betcha i’m pissed that The Bay Area Intellect didn’t acknowledge my good work interviewing Katherine Taylor. that’s the last time i go myself to do an interview in the east bay. next time i’m sending my alter ego.
