Kara has spent most of her adult life in New York City, but has also felt at home (if not always made a home) in Moscow, Prague, London, Paris, Nice, and Warsaw. It would be nice to be more than one place at once. No matter the physical location, you can
find her online at karakrauze.com, writing about memory and other subjects interlocked with memory (hers or others), when she should be finishing edits on her novel, COUNTRIES OF LOST THINGS.
