Q&A with Cynthia Kuhn


Cynthia Kuhn joins us today to talk about her new book, The Art of Vanishing. Don't forget to enter the contest at the bottom of the post. 

Where did you get the idea for this book? How did you know that was the book you wanted to write?

I was thinking about how academics interact with authors when they’re brought to campus, there was a “what if?” moment, and my imagination was engaged.  

What is the best thing that has happened to you as a result of your novels? 

Connecting with readers and other writers. 

What was the last mystery novel you read, other than your own, that you LOVED? Why did you love it?

This is difficult to answer because I love so many of them. One of my all-time favorite mysteries is ALIAS GRACE. It’s incredible—the voice, the twists, the whole concept. Margaret Atwood is absolutely brilliant.

If your protagonist were actually a real person, would you be friends with them? Why or why not?

We would probably be friends—our interests overlap.

If you could meet any author alive or dead, who would it be and why?

Dorothy Parker—would love to listen to her make observations on anything and everything.

If you could be any character in a book, who would you be and why?

Maybe Harriet Vane from Dorothy L. Sayers’s Gaudy Night or Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series? Both have fascinating adventures in a school setting.

Thanks very much for letting me visit!
