06 How much of Anne Rice's real life is in her books?

Quite a bit actually. From the Mayfair house on First
Street to the deck of cards that Lestat uses to play
Solitaire, things from Anne's life turn up everywhere in her
books. The most notable example of this is the character of

death that inspired Anne to write Interview.
