One thing that I came to learn about myself as a writer in working on this book is that my writing is often about who is happening moreso than what is happening. That is, I love creating characters who feel very true-to-life but who are almost so specific as to be mysteries to themselves as they are to other people.

Grafting solitude onto a character who would live it on the page seemed to provide me with a sense of catharsis.

In all my work, the things I’m invested in are empathy and compassion and trying to put human experiences on the page that I haven’t read before.
