Like all good interviews it probes, analyses, prods, hints, reveals - and leaves the reader with enough information to encourage further exploration of its subject.In The Interview the subject is the talented artist and furniture designer Eileen Gray - but perish the thought that this is a factual pieces of reportage.

Quotes by Laura Elliot  (?)

“Galumphing! Why does her mother always make her feel so hefty?”
Laura Elliot, Stolen Child

“Revenge has a strange taste, not sweet, nor nasty, just unpalatable, like prison food.”
Laura Elliot, Guilty

“He sat most days on the Liffey boardwalk and thought about death, as Dominick must have done in those final weeks. He could easily acquire the tools he needed–a rope, a blade, tablets, a river–but death required energy and planning. He seemed incapable of doing anything that would stir him to action. Loss was a palsy shivering through him. It could not be endured. He took the bottle of whiskey from his backpack and drank from the neck.”
Laura Elliot, Guilty

“Writing, painting, singing- it cannot stop everything. Cannot halt death in its tracks. But perhaps it can make the pause between death’s footsteps sound and look and feel beautiful, can make the space of waiting a place where you can linger without as much fear. For we are all walking each other to our deaths, and the journey there between footsteps makes up our lives.”
Ally Condie, Reached
