The Drunken Odyssey 
Has anyone else noticed how much Jane Ridgeway sounds like Barbara Eden? It’s amazing! I don’t know how much this informs on her actual writing and kudos to her for defending the long short story that takes longer than a commute to finish, but it’s like I’m listening to Barbara Eden talk about some stuff she’s written.
Maybe the aural experience does inform on her writing? Don’t listen to it as if Jeannie is reading—it’s more ‘Harper Valley PTA’ I’m thinking of. If ‘thinking’ can be used in this context.
