Tayari's Blog: B.L.T.L.

I spoke with my agent today, mostly to wish her a happy birthday. Anyway, she asked about the new novel. I told her that it was coming along... then that pleading sound came in my voice. "I'm working as fast I can.. I think it's shaping up nicely. Would it be okay if I have a draft by Christmas???" My heart was churning in chest.

Madame agent said, "Take your time. Let the novel come. As I always say, 'Better late than lousy.'"

What a concise paraphrase of the SOS Band: "Baby you can do it, take your time, do it right..."
