Circle Stories: Susan Nussbaum by Riva Lehrer (1998). "I painted Susan on her balcony, amid a rain of falling objects—a shoe, a compact, a pencil, a burning wheel—each a symbol of who she was before the accident and who she was now. . . . When I brought her the finished panel, she leaned forward and exclaimed, 'I love it! You got my gimpy hands just right.'"
