Listener Fav: Tess Gunty "Intention & Attention"

Our month-long celebration of our most-downloaded episodes continues with someone who lives in rare air. Tess Gunty's first published novel won the 2022 National Book Award.

Emily's conversation with Tess goes deep on her journey toward writing "The Rabbit Hutch" and then what it was like to live in the world it created for Tess. A heavy challenge for an introvert. Tess also talks about the need to write about women who remain the main character in their own story.
