Homeschooled by Zoroastrian missionaries in a strange land with much corn and little scenery, Tangognat wandered about the orient for a brief period of time, and then washed up on the shores of academe after an unfortunate incident involving ballroom dancing and tiny mutant insects. One day she woke up and realized that she had become a librarian, which she sometimes regards with a modicum of ambivalence. You can e-mail her (tangognat [at] tangognat.com), if you are so inclined.
