The Shit No One Tells You About Writing · Author Insights From Chris Bohjalian, Bailey Hannah and Tarah DeWitt · 6 Aug 2026 podcast

That's what we're talking about when we're saying this kind of specificity. voice-verified

So Chris could have said the mother was wealthy, came from this kind of money, didn't need it. voice-verified

Just knowing that this table was so old and that she treated it the way she did made us not. voice-verified

Okay. voice-verified

She's wealthy. voice-verified

And this is something that she values very much. voice-verified

So we can see a degree of snobbery there, perhaps. voice-verified

Yes. voice-verified

Oh, absolutely. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

And, you know, there's a lot of privilege there that we get. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Yeah, that part was shocking. voice-verified
