    " I’m not sure which came first: war or dysfunction. I guess that’s why both exist. But the effect war has on families has always troubled me. It forces spouses and children to deal with absence." That should be reason enough for you to want to read this interview.

    War is a sort of major dysfunction isn't it? Well done Susan and Chris!

    Enjoyed the Chat. "Three-handed Bridge" is a great choice for discussion.

    And I can't thank you enough, Chris! It's so much fun for me, probing the writer's mind about a particular story.

    Loved it--love peeking into the minds of writers and what brought them to a piece, and what they brought into it.
