The French call it "l'esprit d'escalier," stairway wit. The witty thing you should have said that occurs to you only as you descend the stairs at the end of the evening. As a novelist, I find that I have staircase thoughts about each of my books, starting with my first novel, published in 1995.

The Abba-Zaba Baby
And here is the original Abba-Zaba baby, sitting under a taffy tree. Extraordinary, isn't it?
Wall Street Journal weekend edition article on family run candy businesses showing a picture of, yes, the Abba-Zaba taffy candy, taffy tree and all. Would never have read the article if it weren't for your book.
Wow, that's amazing. Till this minute I had NO IDEA taffy grew on trees.
