Finding Logic: An Interview with Olympia Vernon

Olympia Vernon’s first book, Eden, is a tragically written struggle of an adolescent girl fighting against nature, her maturity and her mortality. Receiving rave reviews from Publisher’s Weekly and the American Library Association Vernon's debut novel has been compared to such acclaimed authors as Toni Morrison and Alice Walker. This year alone she has received the 2004 American Academy of Arts and Letters Richard and Hinda Rosenthal Foundation Award, the Robert O. Butler Award for Fiction in 2000 and two Matt Clark memorial scholarships. This summer she releases her second novel, Logic, which is already receiving buzz and critical acclaim. Ms. Vernon graciously chatted with me about her writing philosophy, the fact that she has no literary influences and how she can’t sleep for the voices haunting her thoughts.
