On Writing the Dual Roles of Mother and Wife (with Thammika Songkaeo)
from Critical Literary Consumption · host Anna Nguyen
A character who is dissatisfied in her own marriage will likely struggle to be a mother, says Thammika Songkaeo. Discussing her debut novel, Stamford Hospital, Thammika explores the complexity of womanhood, intimacy and relationships, the limitations of intersectionality as a framework, class analysis, colorism in Asia, and the international novel. We also bonded over our experiences in our respective MFA and PhD programs.
