Interview with Steve Bogdaniec

"Find a Way," by Staci Schoenfeld.

Co-ed Bethany Brownholtz selected Steve Bogdaniec's "The Honour of Your Presence" for last week's spotlight piece. This week, she interviews him about his writing style.

Art this week is by Staci Schoenfeld.

BB: You’re recently engaged. Do you view "In Honour of Your Presence" differently now? If so, why?

SB: No, my attitude hasn’t changed. Fortunately, I’m marrying someone who, like me, doesn’t want many of the trappings of a big wedding. I’m sure I will still end up grousing about how much this costs or that costs, but that’s my nature.
