"It's just really hard to locate yourself as an Asian American in American history. Even though you might have been here, you were just always floating in the periphery of historical vision." Sanjena Sathian talks with Zibby about all of the elements that make up her debut novel, Gold Diggers: their conversation ranges from discussing the research on the alchemical traditions that support the book's magic to how the 29-year old built her novel out of a failed short story at the Iowa Writer's Workshop at the recommendation of her roommate.
