Silvia FontBorn a thousand years ago. Since early childhood, she has a been a tireless reader and listener. Raised by a family of soothsayers and storytellers (not as in liars but as in raconteurs), she was blessed with (semi)considerable wit, along with the git of sarcasm and a good eye for the absurd. She soon committed to writing what she learned-or tried to-but she never published. Too chicken. Journalism was possibly a huge mistake for a somewhat mystic, spooky girl, but she made a living. And on the sly, she focused on the interesting stuff. She made her bones as a news and feature writer, editor, and translator, especially of literature.
