I'd suggest looking at C.L. Rawlin's (may also be Rawling--memory fails me) article "Dillard's Cat", which was published in Northern Lights magazine many years ago. I was at the conference (Key West Writer's Conference '96) where Dillard confessed quite bluntly that the opening scene in Pilgrim didn't belong to her, after someone asked her about how she'd decided to make that the opening of her book. I wish I could remember the article that featured Blunt's story, but I'm afraid I can't dig it up at present. Hope that helps somewhat!
