Audrey Niffenegger @ Powells 1/25
Audrey Niffenegger. You might remember her from such books as The Time Traveler’s Wife or her latest Her Fearful Symmetry. I was super excited to learn that she would be visiting Powells and that she would be signing books. I remember reading TTTW a few years back and thought it was a fantastic blend of science-fiction and romance, a difficult balancing act on Niffenegger’s part. She recently released Her Fearful Symmetry which is so completely different from TTTW that it surprised me in a pleasant way. Second novels for authors are normally hit or miss because they are trying to be as good as their first one and consequently don’t take any risks.
At the signing she read from the chapter that talked about being a ghost and what they are capable of doing. After that she transitioned to the Q and A, the heart of any good book reading. The questions asked were good and Niffenegger answered them in ways gave us, the readers, a little insight in to what she was trying to accomplish with HFS. It’s a shame that books can’t include a bonus DVD that features a Making Of documentary that chronicles the writer as he/she writes the book. I think that would be awesome.
I should really get around to posting my thoughts on Her Fearful Symmetry shouldn’t I?

Yeah, I'm fascinated by writers who walk a line between “genre” and literary fiction. (Literary fiction is a genre too, but we like to pretend it isn't.) Michael Chabon is another amazing writer to watch.
I'm sorry I missed Niffenegger's reading–thanks for the recap! And I'd be very interested to read your thoughts on HFS…
