Michael Thorpe is a cool, talented guy. He was quite generous with his time and open to a wide ranging conversation. Love the backwards, inside-out sweatshirt look. His quilt paintings are impressive.

This is the first thing I’ve read today and it’s brilliant! A breath of fresh air, so hugely inspiring. Thanks Amy for the interview and account, and bringing Michael C Thorpe into my radar. Lots of stuff to explore from here.

I admire Michael's self-confidence and willingness to take risks in finding avenues for his work. Showing at the clothing store right after the NPR interview was very smart. Interesting take on reading! Thanks, Amy!

Agreed, and I wish I had seen his backwards reading, AKA his "interpretation" of Camus!
