“Everything was building to this”: The Postscript
<p>Each month, between interviews, I hop on the mic to share a new episode of The Postscript: a new section of Women of Letters I’ve been working on which features a life update from me + a behind-the-scenes look at my conversations with our recent guests.</p><p>I talk about what my first month in Croatia has been like (both the good and the bad); how some of my other big moves over the years have gone and what I’ve learned from them that I’m applying to this one; why I always make it a priority to get things in writing; how I’ve recently gotten super into Instagram Reels, to the point that I now have 20 or 30 of them recorded on my phone; and the way that seemingly small moments or interactions can radically reshape our lives.</p><p>—</p><p><strong>Jana M.

“I never intended to publish it”: Claire Jia on her career as a novelist and screenwriter
<p>If you’ve been a longtime reader, you’ll know that two of the subjects I most regularly gravitate towards in my personal reading are books about female friendship and books about the diaspora experience. So you can only imagine my delight at discovering Claire’s debut novel, Wanting, which contends with both.</p><p>In addition to having been called “Ferrante-like” by the New York Times Book Review, her novel has also been declared a best book of the summer by outlets ranging from LitHub to Harper’s Bazaar. I was grateful to have a chance to sit down with her and learn more about how her experiences living between two different countries as a Chinese-American have shaped the way she approaches her career.</p><p>P.S. I am so excited to be able to gift two copies of Claire’s amazing book, Wanting. Head over to our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://womenofletters.substack.com/p/claire-jia">Substack</a> to enter to receive your copy. 📚</p><p>— </p><p><strong>Claire Jia</strong> is a writer from the suburbs of Chicago. Her work has appeared in The New York Times Modern Love column, The Rumpus, Reductress, and more. She writes for television and video games, including the 2023 Peabody Award-winning We Are OFK. Her family is from Beijing, and there’s nothing she loves more than haggling for stationary in a chaotic Beijing marketplace. Today, she lives in Los Angeles with her friends. Wanting is her debut novel.</p><p>——</p><p>Song: “Walk Through the Park,” by TrackTribe</p>
