Sopan Deb, KEYA DAS'S SECOND ACT

Zibby is joined by New York Times journalist and memoirist Sopan Deb to talk about his debut novel, Keya Das's Second Act. Sopan shares the actual details from his life that inspired the story, why he wanted to shift the focus away from his family story after publishing his 2020 memoir, Missing Translations, and how he manages to write for the Times as well as for a handful of personal projects without getting overwhelmed. The two also discuss why Sopan doesn't outline his books and his best advice that all writers need to hear.
