My Body Double

I know! A few years ago, I posted photos of her on my FB page, and people who know me in RL accepted them as pictures of me.

I mean, come the bloody ef on, if I do my hair like this, it’s totally me:

I almost started to believe I’d had a previous life but then I tried reading Kristin Lavransdattir, and realized that if I’d possessed a literary gift in a preceding existence, that’s not a book I would have written.

It is kind of weird to know there was somebody looking like me, living in Norway, of all places. I’ve always had deeply loving feelings towards Norway, so there’s got to be something there.

    It almost seems hard to believe that you aren’t related to her. The resemblance is astonishing.

    “…that’s not the novel I would have written.” Can you share some of your thoughts about “Kristin Lavransdatter”?

      I only read the first 15 pages, and they didn’t speak to me.

      Maybe I should try her modern novels. Historical fiction is usually lost on me.

    It took me a solid 15 seconds to convince myself that it was not you!

      And it’s not just one photo. All of her photos are identical to how I look.

      Extraordinary.
