NYR: diana spechler

  • About the author EB

Just when you thought it was over, we pull you back in. Here’s another set of resolutions, this time from Diana Spechler, author of Who by Fire.

What was the best book of the year?

The Story of Forgetting by Stefan Merrill Block

What was the best movie?

Burn After Reading

What was the best song/album?

I don’t know…I like the oldies.

Favorite Blog?

Post Secret. Is that a blog?

Who was the person of the year?

If I said anyone but Obama, I would be striving for uniqueness, rather than for honesty. So Obama. But Huckabee is up there, too, because he was so scary. He wound up being a person of the moment, rather than of the year, but it was a scary, scary moment.

What is your New Year’s resolution?

I want to do more selfless acts. Does that sound like a lie? I just read it over and it sounds like a lie.
