While writing this short fiction collection, I soon realized that many of the stories had been inspired by the work of Studs Terkel, an American writer, historian, actor, and broadcaster.
His book, Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do (1974), redefined how we think about work.
It also changed the way I thought about writing.
I wanted to create stories that would explore the diverse and complex lives of everyday people, and delve into themes such as relationships, love, politics, religion, and humor, while highlighting the struggles and triumphs of characters who are often overlooked or forgotten.
