Vendela Vida at a Book Talk: Sign Me Up!

I just returned from a local school's book fair where the featured speaker was Vendela Vida, author of the recently released The Diver's Clothes Lie Empty.  What a lovely person Ms. Vida seems to be, which is, of course, irrelevant, but still--I think the world needs more lovely people.  She read from her new novel, and now I can't wait to read it!

You'll remember from one of my earlier WHIRL posts that I loved her novel The Lovers. (Click here to see what I had to say about that.) This new book seems to be exploring themes of identity--of who we are and what shapes who we become.  Written in the second person, this sounds like a book Literary Masters members would love to 'dig deep' into!

Have you read The Diver's Clothes Lie Empty?  What did you think?
