Design Matters with Debbie Millman · Ann Patchett · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

I think that it's going to be a really rough season between Min Jin Lee and Lee Yoon.

No, it's not.

No?

Have you read?

I'm in the middle of reading Min Jin's book.

Just you wait.

So why do you think that is?

What is it?

Is it about something about this moment in time?

Okay, good.

We'll have to send out a book list.

I want to talk a little bit about your writing.

Why?

Because it's exquisite and it deserves to be talked about, especially tonight.

Thank you.

You've written that before you can start writing a novel, you have to know how it ends.

How do you know where it begins?

Does that come to you?

I know that you open the windows and you sort of wait for things to come in.

But talk about when you recognize, if you recognize, the moment you know you have an idea that deserves to become a novel.
