Nancy Rommelmann ’83 part of The Next Big Thing

Author and journalist Nancy Rommelmann ’83 participates in “The Next Big Thing,” a series of invite-only, blogosphere interviews. In the online Q&A, Rommelmann highlights her new book of eight stories.

“Where did the idea come from for the book?"

“The first one I wrote after being struck by an image, of a knife plunged into a hot pink satin dress—a dress I owned at the time, from a store in Los Angeles called X-Girl. I just had to figure out who was wearing the dress was and why this was happening to her. This is often the case when I work: I see something in my mind and have to figure out how to get there. Hence, maybe: Transportation.

“What genre does your book fall under?

“Literary fiction.”
