I very much appreciated being able to share the inside, behind-the-scenes world of high-profile sexual misconduct investigations, as I wrote about the real challenges with these matters that are rarely talked about in public.

The novel begins in the late 1950s and moves through the mid-1970s, a time when America was changing fast. The culture, the music, the Women’s Movement, the Vietnam War, and a country deeply divided.

I found the graphic content the hardest to write because of the torture that the victims were put through. To have to describe in depth this kind of torture was excruciatingly difficult.

Both books wrestle with a fundamental question that has been very much on my mind over the last few years: “As a species, are we really so unevolved, that when facing existential challenges such as climate change we can only fall back on primitive and counterproductive responses such as tribalism, distrust of the Other, and a demand for simple answers to increasingly complex questions?” I find that truly troubling, and because it’s too depressing to believe we are indeed that limited, in my books I am suggesting there is more at work here …

It actually stemmed from an experience I had in middle school. We were assigned by our English teacher to write a story associated with a picture we had drawn. I drew a monster that was hidden beneath the bleachers.

In the end I concluded that we are a society in trouble. We are stuck in our screens, commoditizing ourselves and our children, engaged in lying, manipulating, and losing our own sense of who we are. We live in social media apps pretending to be celebrities and behaving as if life is a reality TV show.
