Yet it is rare to have the caliber of engaged, insightful interview as I had with Philip Beard, the author of the marvelous new book, Dear Zoe. I felt that what accounted for the delightful and savvy conversation I had with Philip was that in person he gives exactly the same attention to emotional details that are revealed in his novel's main character Tess DeNunzio. Philip is the kind of writer that cannot be recreated or taught; he possesses an instinct for character and situation that makes him a pleasure to read. He also has what many writers lack; he is as articulate in person as he is on the page." Jordan E.
