Thank you for this. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I also wanted you to know that we recently set up a "Remembering Anna Livia" blog site, so that friends, family, scholars, writers, and students can share their memories of Anna and her work. So many people who knew Anna, or who are otherwise familiar with Anna's fiction or scholarship, have asked what they can do, and we thought that this would be one way where we could all try, collectively, to make sense of her death. We hope someday to share the site with her two children, Asher and Emma, when they are older and ready to learn more, but for now, we are thinking that something like this will benefit all of us.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">The blog address is <A href="http://rememberingannalivia.blogspot.com/"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0020E2">http://rememberingannalivia.blogspot.com</FONT></A>/. I would be really grateful if you could share news of the site with colleagues in gender and language, or any others who have been affected by Anna's death. The site is easy to navigate: you can post as many times as you wish, and also anonymously, if you prefer. Because we just set up the site a few days ago, there are currently very few postings. So I'm hoping that you can spread the word around and encourage others to visit the site and contribute something, no matter how brief or spontaneous. Feel free to forward this email to others, as you see appropriate.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>For those of you who are in the Bay Area, there is a memorial service planned for Anna on Saturday, October 6th, between 1:00 and 5:00.
