I've read all but Diane's last book, and especially love her characters and dialogue. Your interview helped suss out how she came to be able to do that. Most of us in the world don't stop to listen, and certainly don't listen without attaching their own judgments and prejudices. Diane lets us hear the "real people" that populate her books' worlds.  Thanks to all!
