Where did you begin? Was it with the concept? The characters? The themes? I was lucky enough to talk to Gretchen about the book, discover more about her writing process, and, of course, discuss the horniness of The Nanny.ĭrew: The world of the book feels so full. Felker-Martin finds the humanity in all of her characters - even her worst ones - and it results in a work of art as challenging as it is entertaining. ![]() The depths this book explores about trans people’s relationships to themselves, each other, and the world at large touch on experiences I’ve never seen in fiction. ![]() Within her heightened setting, Felker-Martin has crafted a collection of characters that feel as true to our world as their own.
