Fresh Air · Best Of: 'Spider-Man' dir. Destin Daniel Cretton / Novelist Harriet Clark · 15 Aug 2026 podcast

It doesn't feel to me like why did she even bother having a child if it was gonna be under these conditions?

I knew she loved me.

And wanted me.

And I knew it was the great tragedy of her life not to be able to be around me all the time.

No, she's never lived with me.

And actually, you know, I think that many people, my mother included, uh I think did expect that we would be making up for lost time, you know.

But actually, because I was so shaped by my mother's imprisonment, you know, it's like my whole life as a child, as an adult, I could never call my mother, you know.

I have no memory of ever wanting to, of having something upsetting happen and wishing I could call her, or having something exciting happen.

I just never I knew I couldn't call her and I didn't want to call her.

And now of course she's like any mother and she's like, Why don't you ever call me?

Um, you know, so I think that maybe she

And others thought, you know, now we would be together all the time.

But actually it's like I'm kind of this awkward teenager having to learn for the first time.

How do you know get my mom to leave the house so I can drink with my friends?

Harriet Clark,

Thank you so much for having me.

It really it's a great honor.
