Patchett: "I have a real prejudice for plot...I do like a story in which something happens...a story really should capture the moment in which things turn, and, as we all know, sometimes the most important things turn over a glance, a cup of coffee, walking the dog,” she says. “It can be a very natural moment in your life, but the story focuses on the moment when things change...so that's what I like. I like creativity, I like a risk, and I like a little plot."
