believe change larger people throw witnessed
The one thing I witnessed over and over were these pretty young people who would throw themselves into a cause larger than themselves and believe they could change the world.
dad encouraged growing humor laughing mom ourselves politics situations wacky weirdness
My dad has a dry, deadpan sense of humor, and my mom has an unexpected, wacky take on things. They really encouraged laughing at ourselves and the weirdness of situations that come up growing up in politics.
both depiction discussion fictional labels people shameless sides sort systems truth
I don't really go into labels or an in-depth discussion of different value systems because for me, it's sort of the truth of the situation in D.C. Certainly, in my fictional depiction of it, there are decent, shameless people on both sides at every level.
bitter both decided route warm
I consciously decided to make both 'Sammy's Hill' and 'Sammy's House' more of a warm satire and not go the route of writing a dark and bitter book about D.C.
develop fed tv volatility
After writing for TV for a while, I got sort of fed up with all of the cancellations and the volatility in that industry. Also, you're always writing for someone else's character and story, and I really wanted to develop my own.
love
Take it from me: I really love making things up, which is why I write fiction for a living.
fans
My parents were enthusiastic fans of 'Sammy's Hill.' But they think 'Sammy's House' is a better book.
favorite
'Jitterbug Perfume' is one of my favorite books.
time written
In my free time, I'd written 'Sammy's Hill' - it had started out as a play. I just did it for myself.
entirely fictional
In actuality, 'Sammy's House' can and should be read as an entirely fictional comedy set in a fascinating political world.
since truth version
I've seen some version of 'An Inconvenient Truth' since I was born.
love
I'm just grateful that my parents still love each other.
compared felt lived
I was really nerdy. Compared with my sisters, I often felt like a boring person because I lived so much in my head and in books.
fifth kids since
I was one of those dorky kids who'd wanted to go to Harvard since the fifth grade.
