Author Sheena Patel: The Shadow Self, Shame, Navigating ”The System”

Deep Reading lists for every episode are available at phoebe.substack.com   My guest today is the author Sheena Patel, whose debut novel I’m a Fan was published to widespread acclaim in 2022.   We had a wide-ranging conversation about her experience of writing her debut novel, her decision to spotlight the very darkest impulses of human nature, and why she hopes I'm A Fan will age badly. I hope you enjoy the conversation!     - @phoebelovatt @phoebelovattpubliclibrary @imightbesheenapatel
