"Pigeon-Toed and Angry: A Memoir." Favorite Derby winner? "Is this a trick question to prove what a bad Louisvillian I am? I don't think I could name a single Derby winner even if I had a gun to my head." Best book you've read over the past year? "Zadie Smith's Swing Time is about two biracial girls who are dancers and the paths they take in life. Incredible observations about people and the self." Have any tattoos? "Several. But my favorite is an owl with a thought bubble containing a heart. I think it sums me up." The last thing you bought online? "A maternity dress that, when it arrived, proved to be the most hideous article of clothing I've ever put on my body." One thing Louisville is missing? "The same thing that all of Kentucky is missing: a governor and senators who care about Kentuckians." Something unexpected you love in Louisville? "The drivers. After living in Florida and seeing what truly terrible driving looks like, I really appreciate Louisvillians' efforts to use their turn signals." (Didn't know that kind of Louisvillian existed — Ed.) What makes somebody a Louisvillian? "I just got back, so I don't think it's for me to say just yet. Ask me in a couple years if I stay." Favorite movie scene? "When Shug Avery sings 'Miss Celie's Blues' in The Color Purple." If you could write it yourself, what would your headstone say? "She tried."
