Can you claim any Irish blood, Agnes?
If Frank McCourt can make a bestseller out of a miserable Irish childhood, you could too….
but you’d probably have to punch it up a bit (or down?)…
as some say he did, anyway.
Or…. Wyeth was from New England…. can you paint an authentic-sounding word picture of life in the bleak New Hampshire snow?
Oh….how about if your roots could be from, say, Tennessee?
Mississippi?
Southern childhoods loom large in literary circles…. especially if you throw in a Gothic touch, which seems to suit you.
It’s just that … well, you know…. Ohio….
sorry…. Ohio just doesn’t seem to have as much autobiographical cachet.
