Thank you very much. I knew I wanted to look into this back history further, but this was a potent reminder who the writer was and where it formulated. I definitely found an audio version of the story and will listen soon. I’m also tickled that there is a conference about 200 years after a previous conference of sorts in story telling.
I read this article allowed to my husband here as I was so glad to see it. He was surprised “Interview…” was from 1976 and I told him Louis was the reason why I understood other sympathetic/reluctant vampires so well, but that even then I felt a more fun exposure to that had come sooner as I watched “Love At First Bite” many times prior to reading Rice’s book. Cheers.
Thanks, Daryl. Great observation about the dialogic nature of the Villa Diodati event as conference! We hope our will be as inspired! Do try and come along–you’d be very welcome
