“When I hung up the phone with Penguin, I texted you, ‘We’re free. We’re free.’ No hardship, no hard feelings. Funny, though how I still felt a discomfort. Like, it’s over now. Time to turn the page.”

“Making new stuff is hard. Choosing new pathways and new readership, and new types of books, all this stuff is very challenging. But that’s art. And we don’t use that word a lot with prescriptive nonfiction. I think people recoil when you say art, because most people don’t think of themselves as artists. But it is, and this is the part of the process that artists feel, which is: this is messy and murky and I don’t know what’s going to happen, and I can only see two inches in front of me in this tunnel. And this is the best part.”
