...like a child when I write, taking chances, never thinking in terms of logic or reviews. I just go with what I'm feeling. And I get obsessed: I'm always afraid I'm going to die before I complete it. I work from day into darkest night and morning. I've found that in the hours of darkest doom, there will soon be light-so I don't give up. It's then that my subconscious is about to give me an answer...

As she strings up her fish to dry, O'Callahan's young narrator is still a charming child, playing at a new game. When she learns, with her I, hands smelling of herring...
...hotel, the city's newest, really belongs to Kansas City: it was designed by local architects, by local firms, and is owned by the family-run Hallmark Cards, Inc., one of the city's largest employers. Said Company President Donald Hall: "The past hours have been the darkest in my life." The city council met Saturday to review the disaster. No one was ready to place blame-indeed, it was not yet known why the sky bridge gave way. Said a Hyatt vice president, James Howard, in a careful letter to the mayor and Missouri Governor Christopher...
