"I wanted to create a strong narrative that felt seamless, rather than what I might do in journalism — quoting people, and writing in a more detached way."
I find the following to be so true: "The conversations we're having now about wifedom and motherhood and choice are conversations that women have always thought about..." I write memoir that often references my mother and grandmother, and sometimes I have to imagine and speculate about their (especially my grandmother's) frustrations and desires.
Fascinating

Inspiring interview, especially as I'm in the process of revisiting my own memoir.
I loved reading about her process and look forward to reading the book - sounds like a fascinating one! Thank you for profiling her.
