Ania Ostrowska: My first reader Avatar |
Ania Ostrowska, was one of the very first to read
and comment on The Destiny of Shaitan.
So it was only fitting that she is one of the first to feature in my Reader Avatars series. Read more about Ania here:
a. What is the one thing you want to do/ have done before you die? I'd love to parachute jump or, better still,
do it more than once.
b. What makes you happy? Home cooked brunch, enjoyed with friends in
the garden on a sunny summer morning.
c. Which book/ non-fictio/ prose/ movie had the greatest impact on you.
Why? Stephen Frears' 1988 film, Dangerous
Liaisons. For breathtaking performances from John Malkovich and Glenn Close
and for exposing the fine (vanishing) line between the bodily and the
spiritual.
d. Do you believe in life on other
planets? Of course!
e. What do you like/ challenge about The
Destiny of Shaitan? Its mythological framework gave me the comforting feeling that no matter
what happens to the characters, it will be what there was in stock for them
from the start
