LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE BROKE ME

Great interview. POC folks we gotta realize humans listen to respond and react not to understand. Not all but most.

Great interview! I thoroughly enjoyed reading Celeste Ng's "Everything I Never Told You" and "Little Fires Everywhere". I loved what Celeste said about having empathy.

Ah. Men often feel they are being attentive and nice helping women. Arrgh. I think i will choose C. Eng's book for my book group next👍

Who are these "white male writers" that are unsophisticated and need to learn from Celeste, another beautiful white rich Harvard girl, whose face is the dominant one of the world (female, Asian features)? Does she mean Dan Brown? I'm assuming she does. I guess she means -- the marketplace values escapism over sociology, but Dan Brown should "choose sociology" so that more people's feelings aren't hurt in Ohio? What gives her the right to dictate what everybody else should be writing and reading?

First, I doubt you, Miranda, are female, but hey, I'm not genki either. Secondly, having read her work, which you clearly have not, I can say she has as good a view of the 'burbs and its citizens, as, oh, take your pick, Updike or Mailer or my man Roth. Whoops, they are all dead.
