I write memoirs, and I teach writing at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. As a child, I lived in the West Indies, and am still trying to adjust to cold weather! My favorite actor of all time is Charlie Chaplin. (I know: he's been dead for years!) But I have four photographs of him in my office. He seems to bridge that divide between tragedy and comedy, and I can watch his movies for hours, laughing and crying.
