“I wouldn’t burden myself or create anxiety about the past. I tend not to live in the past”

Introducing Karen Hill Anton, Legend of Crossing Cultures and Turning Corners

In Karen’s book ‘The View From Breast Pocket Mountain’ before I even got to page 50 she had introduced me to her young relationship with Joseph Heller, author of Catch 22, hanging out with Neneh Cherry (childhood hero of mine). Now, I am a sloooooow reader - I like that about myself - I read about 10 books a year and these days listen to more, but I decided to purchase Karen’s book and dip in before our conversation.
