Episode 77 Peter Ho Davies

Episode Summary

In this episode, Dr. Sabrina Lee sits down with acclaimed novelist Peter Ho Davies for a wide-ranging conversation about craft, identity, and the stories that shape us. Together they explore several of his books, diving into themes of shame, race, joke-telling, and what it means to write from the in-between spaces of a biracial identity. With characteristic insight and generosity, Davies reflects on how revision deepens his work and how he’s learned to inhabit the “hyphen” in his own life and fiction.

Theme music is Modern Attempt by TrackTribe and June 11 by Andrew Starr.
