[quote=Anonymous]I've been going through the media section on her website:

https://tarawestover.com/media/

I've listened/watched/read a few things.  She's basically sticking to the same talking points, which don't really convey much new.  She knows the family she is in touch with has read the book.  She thinks some family from whom she is estranged have read it but doesn't know.  She's come to recognize that whether she is back in touch with her parents/brother is their decision, not hers.  She sounds pretty healthy.

The one new thing I learned is that she started to write in a writers group and found she was terrible (academic writing vs narrative writing).  So she decided she needed to learn ,and listened to the New Yorker short story podcast (where the authors talk about their writing techniques and break down what works in the story and why) to recognize and figure out good writing.

The one thing I wonder that I haven't seen answered is what is her job right now?  Is she living off the book / speaking?  Does she have or want an academic job?  What is her career path?

I'm also curious if she sees herself marrying and having children someday.  Haven't seen that asked/answered yet.  [/quote]
