Quiara Alegria Hudes is Pulitzer Prize–winner for Drama and a Tony Award–winner for Best Musical. She’s been a writer for more than 20 years, but she recently tried her hand on a new literary form… the novel. Her new book, The White Hot, is a letter from a mother to her daughter, explaining why she, as a 26-year-old, left her daughter 8 years prior. I recently spoke with Quiara Alegria Hudes and here’s our conversation.
