″This podcast is dedicated to young literary creation,” explains Charlotte Casiraghi. “We wanted to meet authors who have only just started writing novels. By discovering their writing rituals, their daring, their doubts and their sources of inspiration, we hope to encourage other talented young people to get involved in creation.″

Introduced by Charlotte Casiraghi, the conversations are hosted by the journalist Lauren Bastide for the French version, and by the writer and literary critic Erica Wagner for the English version.

In this episode, “I’m a Fan” writer Sheena Patel talks with author and critic Erica Wagner about her desire to capture the spirit of her time. Furthermore, they evoke “Four Brown Girls Who Write”, a collective of writers created with her friends to support each other in the writing process
