Had a nice time eating spicy tuna rolls in the city with Maud today and admired the chilly, daffodilly weather all around, but at the same time could not stop thinking of Savage Girl, the new novel, just now getting its hems evened and its hairdo fluffed in preparation for going out to its first reader/editor. It is a strange and I hope irresistable fable that has a colorful cacophany of events and characters. Cross your fingers for Savage Girl as it leaves dark and gentle Cabinworld behind to encounter the white lights and long knives of the real world.
