I have to admit that I was very happy to finish 'In the Cut,' and happy not to return to it.

The world of womens' prisons is indeed a microcosm.

I lived in Calcutta for five months in 1999. While I was there, I read many journals, diaries, collections of letters and histories.

'The Big Girls' has always seemed to me to be a story about different kinds of families - a divorced mother with a child; a father with his child and his girlfriend; a mother of three children, suffering from postpartum depression; and the rigid artificial families maintained by women in prison - all potentially perilous.

The history of Hawaii may be seen as a story of arrivals.

'In the Cut' was not what readers expected of me. Before it was published, I was seen as a women's writer, which meant that I wrote movingly about flowers and children.

When I was nine, I was taught to ride a surfboard in Waikiki by the beach boy Rabbit Kekai.

People will be able to survive, of course, without honeycreepers and monk seals. But if the wolf spider is in trouble, we are in trouble, too.

Young writers reasonably say, 'I don't know what to write about,' so writing about yourself is a very literal way to begin.
