"One time a venomous snake got into the lazy river. I coaxed the snake out of the water with a soft pretzel and everyone called me a genius."

Sylvia Chan's "Never Stay Still," out now in HFR Issue 76, is a beautifully vulnerable and layered essay about the challenges of centering your own experience in a family narrative, and I was delighted to ask her a few questions about the writing process for the HFR blog:

This is the funniest article about pennies you will ever read.
When I found out how much it costs to make a penny (3.07 cents), I lost my mind. Spent months investigating it. @NYTMag told me I could write 7,000 words on this. I countered with a 19,000 word draft. We compromised & published 7,000 words. Here they are: nytimes.com/2024/09/01/magaz…

The book sounds excellent, but this interview alone is a great read on archival and oral research, friendship, and the singular Judith Jones. @annehelen talks to @SaraFranklin10 about The Editor: open.substack.com/pub/annehe…
