]]> Comment on Amy Bloom, author of Away, answers your questions! by D. Kempf http://writersrevealed.com/2007/12/04/amy-bloom-author-ofaway-answers-your-questions/#comment-6661 D. Kempf Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:00:26 +0000 http://writersrevealed.com/2007/12/04/amy-bloom-author-ofaway-answers-your-questions/#comment-6661 Reason tells me that the last paragraph would be deleted by the author or an editor if it did not add necessary and new information to the story. Unfortunately, I can't understand what the paragraph means! If this last paragraph is describing Lillian's discovery of Bishop's dead body under the leaves, are ALL the "tidy endings" given to the characters throughout the book just stories that Lillian tells herself as she moves into each new leg of her journey? Are these stories her way of putting the past to rest so that she can focus solely on her goal of finding Sophie? Are these tidy endings all connected to Lillian's earlier observation that the story you can tell has very little to do with the ugly truth that clings to your underside like tar? Will they be the stories she eventually wants to tell Sophie? Do these "tidy ending" stories come in a rush to Lillian at the end of the book as her mind creates a bold fiction to protect her precarious mental state in the face of Bishop's dead body (his earlier-described rescue having also been a story Lillian told herself as she attempted to push on toward Siberia)? If her brain eventually absorbs the fact of John's death, does she, too, finally crumble under the crushing burden of her losses (like Yaakov) and give up--perhaps succumbing to the harsh elements of nature since all her provisions have disappeared downstream and she doesn't know she is only five miles from where she started? Help! I feel like I'm drowning in the river with Lillian!
