Amazon.com Review:
Amazon.com's Significant Seven Mordicai Gerstein graciously agreed to answer the questions we like to ask every author: the Amazon.com Significant Seven. Q: What book has had the most significant impact on your life? A: Alice in Wonderland. I read it as a child, and then read it to each of my three children, and it always knocked me out. Q: You are stranded on a desert island with only one book, one CD, and one DVD--what are they? A: The book: The most complete anthology of poetry in English from earliest to now. The music: Bach's Well Tempered Clavier, books one and two. The movie: Beat the Devil. Q: What is the worst lie you've ever told? A: I never tell lies. Q: Describe the perfect writing environment. A: Early summer morning in the Adirondacks in an attic room looking out over a meadow at the high peaks. Q: If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say? A: "The world is an endlessly beautiful place, and the food is spectacular. Please don't screw it up." Q: Who is the one person living or dead that you would like to have dinner with? A: My mother, who died in 1970. Q: If you could have one superpower, what would it be? A: Flight!
