An Interview with Thorina Rose
author of The Heartbreak Diet, reviewed 7/8/2008

About a month ago, I reviewed a new graphic novel called The Heartbreak Diet. I have since had the wonderful opportunity to speak to the author and ask her a few questions. Here’s what Thorina Rose had to say about the translations of her experiences into pages in a book

Great interview! I really enjoyed reading Thorina's thoughts. It sounds like I'll really enjoy The Heartbreak Diet. I love that she included quotes from strong women. I'm a compulsive quote collector.

Also, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is high on my TBR list.

Oh, also, a question for Thorina: Do you feel that your relationship difficulties stifled your creativity in some way? I've had a couple of bad relationships, and with both of them, my creativity suffered. It's been very liberating to get those creative juices back full-force now that I'm single and happy. Kudos to you for the creative payback.

I e-mailed your question to Thorina in case she doesn't see it here :)

I really liked your review of this book, and this interview was even better. It's great that Ms. Rose used something tragic in her life to make great art. This book keeps inching its way up the TBR list.

Good job with this interview -- you thought up some great questions and I enjoyed reading Rose's replies although I've not yet read the book. Perhaps I can convince my boss to get this for the library, looks like it will have a wide appeal.
