McNamara" ] Meghan Daum [Lindsay Moon ] Re: Regarding your application [Anita Gabrielle Subject: RE: Meghan Daum Thanks Lindsay ... I will look out for this book, she is well regarded from some stuff I've read about her online. I love what you say here about the way Joni chooses words. Marcie is a miracle ... just the right amount of words! :-) Sue Tierney McNamara Email: sem8@cornell.edu - -----Original Message----- From: Lindsay Moon [mailto:moonlj@san.rr.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 2:21 PM To: Joni List Cc: Susan E. McNamara Subject: Meghan Daum Sue, I did get that book. It's a collection of short pieces/essays (oddly similar to the writing style of Ann Patchett, who was recommended by David Sedaris when we saw him). Daum writes of going to LA and happening upon the Green Flag Song exhibit. She (like Brian and I when we went there) met the owner, (do I recall correctly his name as Lev?), he was very forthcoming with information, and when Daum said she was a reporter, he offered to ask Joni if he could ask Daum to their dinner that night. The dinner happened, Joni (unfortunately) came off as a kook with her ideas about the environment, but she gave the author her phone number to discuss more... Daum is a serious fan, though, and is annoyed as well that people misinterpret many things she's written or says. (And only I/we would notice the slight mistakes ... "Marcie in a coat of flowers *steps* inside a candy store," it's "stops." Any fathead could write "steps," Joni wrote "stops." Completely different animal and another notch on her liberation doll genius. (Hahaha) And "The Wolf That Lives in *Lindsay*" is "Lindsey.") Daum tried several times to reach Joni but never got an answer (Joni having no technology later than 1947 in her home ... hahaha). And then the writer lost her phone number. I'd kill myself. Lindsay ; ) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2015 11:20:42 -0800 From: Lindsay Moon Subject: Meghan Daum Sue, I did get that book.
