In books like Santa Olivia you capture the sense of high school intrigue very well—and also the sense of being separate or different from your peers. I was wondering if that was your experience growing up, too?

Well, I spent a few years, actually ninth and tenth grade, in a boarding school. It was basically a hundred kids in the woods. Half of them were there, as I was, for higher academics and something that was more stimulating and challenging than public school was offering. The other half was there because they had been kicked out of a larger, more expensive boarding school. It’s a very intense atmosphere emotionally and psychologically—a bunch of adolescents without parental supervision . . . I think that’s part of the perennial appeal of boarding school novels, in fact: that it is such a crucible of the adolescent experience. Maybe because I had a vivid time I’m still able to access what those years felt like.
