This was great, Anna! Do you have a favorite book of Allegra Goodman’s? I’d love to read some of her works!

I love her short stories! One of my favorites appeared in the New Yorker a few years ago ("A Challenge You Have to Overcome"): https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/fiction/a-challenge-you-have-overcome

With three kids (two being boys ages 6 and 8), I often find myself writing with Pokemon in the background. Just so you know you're not alone!

And CONGRATS on the pending arrival of your baby daughter! Our third is a girl (almost 3 years) who is the life of the party and the the muse for my non-fiction leadership writing in hopes that she will learn from my insight and be a better human as a result!

Oh, it sounds like we are living parallel lives! Pokemon isn't the worst writing soundtrack :)
