Diane asked Elinor Lipman:

I love all your books, I actually met you once at a book talk and I told you how much I loved the movie "And then She found Me". I am so happy you are writing another book, my sister and I were afraid you had retired. My favorite books are The Pursuit Of Alice Thrift and Isabel's Bed. Keep Writing!!!!?

Elinor Lipman Diane, Thank you so much. No retirement in sight! I did have two books (essays and THE VIEW FROM PENTHOUSE B in 2013--not so long ago!) I'm quite fond of the new one, ON TURPENTINE LANE, out in a month. (Is this getting very hard-sell?) And I'm a little more than half-way into the one after that. Maybe we'll meet again on the trail--my upcoming events are listed on my website, www.elinorlipman.com, under "Coming to a city near you." Best to you and your sister!

Anne asked Elinor Lipman:

Hi Elinor, I love your novels and have read every one of them. I was rather late in getting to Good Riddance, but I was wondering whether you got the idea for a certain situation in the book from the background of the current president of France?

Linda Gaines asked Elinor Lipman:

Have any other readers who were attractive English teachers in the 1960s written to you? At first I thought it was my story but of course things turned out differently for me.
