It seems plausible to me that the interviewer mis-heard or mis-remembered
what Kate said.  These things do happen.  Gene Wolfe was once interviewed
about his forthcoming (at the time) book "The Citadel of the Autarch"; the
interview as printed gave the title as "The Castle of the Otter".

Subsequentely, Gene Wolfe wrote a book about the Book of the New Sun tetralogy
(of which "The Citadel of the Autarch" is the concluding volume) and used
"The Castle of the Otter" as the title, as a sort of joke.  So maybe
we *will* someday see (er.., hear) a Kate Bush song called "Nice to Swallow":-)
