The Nuts and Bolts of Writing

In this episode, Tete.Depunk (https://www.instagram.com/tete.depunk on Instagram and https://www.deviantart.com/tete-depunk) talks about her experiences re-creating an old character of hers - Gleb (formerly Andrei), who starts out as a serf in 18th century Imperial Russia and eventually finds his calling as a Cossack!

She talks about how she did the historical research for her story and shares the ideas she's developed for Petya (Gleb's half-brother) and Nikolai (Petya and Gleb's father).

Featuring me and @tete.depunk (Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tete.depunk and DeviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/tete-depunk) talking about my current project, "Sam in New York"!

We segue into how "Sam in New York" ties in with Philip Roth, modernism, being a Third Culture kid, and the role of "assimilation" in Anglophone countries like the USA, Australia, Canada, etc.
