This guide is sponsored by Dear Thief, the new novel from Samantha Harvey. A letter to an old friend, a song, a jewel, and a continuously surprising triangular love story, Dear Thief is about the need for human connection and the brutal vulnerability that need exposes. And it is about how we remember, or fail to remember, our stories.
The Sunday Telegraph called Dear Thief "an incandescent vision of hope and acceptance." The Guardian said it's "a heady, elegiac combination of eroticism and loss, loathing and rapture."
"This is how I think of that landscape when I stop to remember—although I know, before you raise a sceptical brow, the over-optimism of memory.
Memories of a distant relationship, excerpted from Dear Thief.

Afternoons with Altman and Allen.
For a year or two during the mid-1970s, living in New York, I was a moviegoer. I was in my early 20s then, working off and on, driving a cab, setting up the stage at rock shows, writing occasional pieces for The Village Voice. But there were also long empty spells. I tried to write some fiction and couldn’t, tried to read and could—but only for so long. I ended up going to the movies.

GROSS: I am just trying to clarify so I can understand.
CLINTON: No, I don't think you are trying to clarify. I think you're trying to say that, you know, I used to be opposed and now I'm in favor and I did it for political reasons. And that's just flat wrong. So let me just state what I feel like you are implying and repudiate it. I have a strong record. I have a great commitment to this issue and I am proud of what I've done and the progress we're making.
