Unveiling Secrets and Loss: Jill Bialosky’s Intimate Journey Through Grief and Memory
Please join me in conversation with Jill Bialosky.
Leslie Lindsay: It’s such a delight and honor to chat with you, Jill. You are author of several novels, prose, including the bestselling memoir, History of a Suicide, and numerous volumes of poetry, most recently Asylum, which I loved. I’d like to start with the title of the book, The End is the Beginning. I believe this is an adaptation of the epigraph you chose, which is a line from T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets, Park IV Little Gidding. Am I on the right track? Are you the type of writer who needs to know ahead of time the title of your work, or do you allow that to coalesce as you work?
