This conversation with Celeste Ng is the first of two episodes on Little Fires Everywhere, where they'll cover the book and the series. They talked about the writing process, the stories that they tell, and the stories that define them. They also covered how their hometowns shape you, how parenting is a shame minefield, and how they all have the power to mourn moments even while they're in them. Celeste also filled you in on what she thinks about the series and what it felt like watching Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington create a show from her novel.
