Publisher’s Weekly: Q & A with Rainbow Rowell
Publisher’s Weekly: Q & A with Rainbow Rowell :
Rainbow Rowell – yes, that is her real name – is having a good couple of years. Her adult debut, Attachments, came out in 2011; her YA debut, Eleanor & Park (St. Martin’s Griffin, Feb.), hits stores soon, and a second young adult novel is due out this fall. She spoke with PW by phone from her home in Omaha – where Eleanor & Park, a love story about two outsiders, is set – about realistic romance, the power of music, and not being precious about writing.
This is a really good interview with Rainbow Rowell about Eleanor & Park. And yeah; I’m reading it again already. So good. The thing that gets me is how authentic the central relationship is. It puts me right back in the fall of 1979, when I was figuring this stuff out for the first time.
I like her mention of Park’s dad in the interview. I really related to his character. He gets a couple of really great moments.
Go read this! Read it now! I need more people to squee with.
