The Six Thousand

Jane F. Kotapish, a native of Virginia, studied at the College of William and Mary and at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. She is a modern dancer and freelance writer based in Brooklyn. Salvage is her first novel. "I have always watched myself watching myself. And so I know that what I am doing is flirting with the possibility of going mad…. And I see that what I am doing is sad and pathetic and symptomatic of a pathological loneliness. And I also see that I am fine. I am as close to happy as I have ever been." A review of her book is here.
