Booktrib Talks to Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman about the Greatest Literary Marriages

Delia Sherman and Ellen Kushner sit against a brick wall outdoors

Peri Lyons talked to Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman for Booktrib, writing:

“To talk to Ellen is to have the pleasant feeling that you have just been kidnapped by a good fairy on mild hallucinogens, while talking to Delia evokes feelings of being with one’s wisest female relative, the one who nurtured and soothed you—and then put you back on your feet with a kind, no-nonsense pat.

Prominent as a couple, they have taught together, written together, and as Ellen says, laughing, ‘Frankly, people come and sit in our living room and we give them advice together.’ The writer Laurie J. Marks is quoted as saying that she ‘learned more about writing sitting in Ellen and Delia’s living room, than she did in college.’”
