Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley

[Jane Roper: What’s coming up]: That moment when you can clearly see the recurring themes in your creative work–heck, in your life Ep 1187


Listen Later

Welcome back to the final installment of the Finding the Through Line interview with Jane Roper, author of the novel “The Society of Shame,” which is a finalist for the Thurber Prize in American Humor, and a memoir, “Double Time: How I Survived and Mostly Thrived Through the First Three Years of Mothering Twins.” I discovered Jane through her Substack newsletter called Jane's Calamity, where she writes about being a writer, aging, failing at mindfulness and having too much Tupperware among other things.

Today, we're going to find out what's currently brewing for Jane and what she knows at this moment about where her personal through line is leading her next, as well as what kinds of things she's been reading, watching, and listening to lately.

- Moment of respect for creatives who are doing work in multiple genres

- The beauty of a personal writing retreat

- Figuring out the recurring themes in your work (which can only happen when you continue to produce work!)

- The link between majoring in anthropology and becoming a novelist

- Preparing mentally for her twins to leave home and go to college

- The (perhaps unlikely) dream: Letting go of the copywriting work

- The Netflix series she devoured

- An ode to half-caff coffee

- The 10,000 calorie meal she’d request if someone wanted to dazzle her tastebuds
