Go and get some.

Oh, my God.

You are not alone.

You have found other people.

You and I have a friend in common.

Every stupid thing that a writer could do I've done. I think it's really beautiful. Jesus, what a struggle, you know? It was incredible. It was like your head exploded, seeing what was really there. And now here's your host, Brad Listy. Just one person is just one time. Hey, everybody, how's it going on, Brad Listy? Welcome to the Other People podcast.

I'm here in Los Angeles.

Thank you for listening.

My guest today is Charmaine Craig.

Her new novel is called Miss Burma.

It's available now from Grove Press.

She was just here a few minutes ago.

We had a conversation that is coming up momentarily.

Before we get there, I do want to read some email. I've been getting a lot of letters,

especially after last week's episode. I got a lot of nice notes from people regarding the death

of my dog, Walter. So if I, you know, I'm not going to read all of those in the monologue. I'm not

going to do that to you. But, but, uh, for the people who did write in, I just want to say a thank you. I appreciate all the kind words.

So a listener named Tom writes, Dear Brad, I thought your account of Walter's untimely demise and the aftermath was a remarkable bit of storytelling worthy of this American life.
