• The Siren Explains Her Syncopation

  As a teenager I was in love with F. Scott Fitzgerald. One of his short stories, "Head and Shoulders," has been meandering through my brain for more than twenty years. In it, Marcia Tarbox, chorus girl-turned-Pepys reader, becomes a literary sensation with "Sandra Pepys, Syncopated." "Poor gauzy souls trying to express ourselves in something tangible. Marcia with her written book; I with my unwritten ones. Trying to choose our mediums and then taking what we get—and being glad." —Horace Tarbox, "Head and Shoulders"
