Elizabeth Strout, one of my favorite authors, reports that she never took a literature course and she never took a psychology course.
Instead, she listens to people.
“I have listened and listened and listened my whole life,” Strout says. “If you listen carefully enough, people will tell you exactly the kind of person they are.”
I heard Elizabeth Strout speak at Arts & Letters Live at the Dallas Museum of Art on September 21, 2022.
