During an interview with the DIY MFA podcast, Claire Stanford discusses her debut novel, Happy for You, a contemporary adult fiction novel grappling with tech, happiness, and what living authentically really means. They discuss:
- The meaning of happiness, its relationship with social media, and how that plays out in the novel.
- Why Stanford classifies her novel as literary fiction as opposed to speculative.
- How Stanford navigated writing a novel about a character who is strongly opposed to change.
