Thanks Steph for all these materials! I saw in one of them that she and Jonathon Safran Foer are married. I hadn't realized that. Also, her website nicolekrauss.com has some interesting interviews under Press section.

Thanks, Suzanne! I'll add a link to her site.
ReplyDeleteI read that she and Jonathan were a couple, but I didn't know they were married. I guess critics have noted significant similarities between History of Love and Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
