“Beyond the Pages: Lidia Yuknavitch Reveals the Hidden Depths of ‘Reading the Waves'”
LL: Do you want to talk about Devin? Let’s start with those lovely synchronicities of the etymology of his name, the place you met. The murmurations of crows.
LY: You know, Eugene, Oregon may be some kind of cosmic vortex. I remember Kesey saying that to me once, but I was young and witless so I just thought get outta town. But listen to this — my first husband’s brother played gigs in Eugene before I ever met him. My current husband and I walked by each other in the halls of the creative writing department, checked each other, and didn’t hook up until 2 years later in San Diego. So meeting Devin Eugene in Eugene seems bigger than Devin to me now…but anyhoo.
