It was all about green curtains.In 2008, to my surprise, I was offered a nine-month fellowship based in New York City. I’ve lived there twice before, and both times were unsuccessful. In other words, I was unable to develop any kind of meaningful social life. So this was an opportunity not only to do research for a new novel, but also to do things right. I swore that this city would never destroy me a third time. But how? I knew from experience that New Yorkers (who use their ovens as sweater drawers) can’t resist the exotic novelty of dinner…

I feel lucky that we had this option and would do it again, but being a stay-at-home mom has taken a steep toll on my mental health. I love my babies, but being the primary caretaker and working freelance on top…
Updated on September 25, 2024 at 5:12 PM ETWhen my son was a toddler, he liked to run down the driveway until he fell. Then he turned to me and checked to see if I was hurt. He would whimper if my face betrayed anxiety or if I let out a gasp. If I remain calm, he will shake off his feelings and start running again. It was a revelation when I learned that I could have such a powerful influence on his mental state. Here was someone who expected me to understand the world, not just how to tie…
