Cath Crowley, author of WORDS IN DEEP BLUE, on books and ideas connecting and helping us
We are excited to be joined by Cath Crowley, who shares more about her latest novel, IN DEEP BLUE.
Cath, what was your inspiration for writing WORDS IN DEEP BLUE?
The first scene I wrote, discarded in the end, was of Henry’s dad sitting on the veranda. He was writing to Pablo Neruda about love without an address for his letter. So I was inspired by the way words and books and ideas can change and help us, can connect us.
A while after that I opened a copy of A Streetcar Named Desire to see that a stranger had underlined the same phrases that I love. Of course you see this often – but the markings always feel like notes taken in a class, markings directed by a teacher. The underlines on Streetcar felt like a person marking them out of love, or need.
I thought about a whole bookstore where people were allowed to write in books, but that seemed impracticable, and so it became a set of shelves in the store, a letter library: a place where people could write to strangers, to the poets, to people they’d lost.
