So when word got around that the visionary California painter and book artist Sandow Birk was not just illustrating but co-writing a new adaptation of Dante''s "Divine Comedy," some of us who cherish his work feared the worst. Critics promptly saw they''d been kidding themselves all along, and they turned on her. Consequently, she barely ever saw a bad review - until she made the mistake of writing her first book. She used to give interviews saying what an old-fashioned girl she really was at heart, how all she''d really like to do was find a nice writer and settle down. Creative people who don''t write sometimes enjoy a honeymoon with the press - right up until they put pen to paper.
