Deb Caletti:
what was your inspiration for girl, unframed, and what were you hoping readers would take out of it?
Deb Caletti
My inspiration was actually the real-life stabbing of Johnny Stompanato, the boyfriend of film star Lana Turner, by her daughter in the late 1950's. I wanted to explore the themes of objectification, and how they played out in my own life history, and hoped readers would relate. You can find out more on my website (www.debcaletti.com). Just click on the Girl, Unframed book image, and lots more info. will pop up. :) Thanks for asking!

This is not a question but I just finished reading A Heart in A Body in the World and I cried and cried during Annabelle's speech. Thank you so much Deb for saying what needs to be said about how we treat women in this world. How we are second class citizens who have different rules of protection and acknowledgment. Thank you for speaking about the children that have needlessly been killed by terrible violence. ?
