Gold Diggers author Sanjena Sathian on why she reads Philip Roth as a minority writer
Sathian discussed her debut novel in a Zoom Q&A with the Vox Book Club.
Constance Grady is a senior correspondent on the Culture team for Vox, where since 2016 she has covered books, publishing, gender, celebrity analysis, and theater.
The Vox Book Club’s May book pick was Sanjena Sathian’s biting social satire of immigrant ambition, Gold Diggers. And as is our tradition, we met up with Sathian at the end of the month to talk the book through on Zoom. Together, we discussed the tricks of a dual point of view, what to do with bad criticism, and how to write a heist.
