Schubart, known for his diverse novels, discussed how he leveraged storytelling as a form of therapy.

The interview revealed his belief in literature's power to cultivate understanding among diverse communities, emphasizing the role of narrative in fostering connections. Schubart's journey underscores how fiction, when wielded skillfully, can heal both writer and reader and how stories can transcend personal confines to resonate universally. In a world seeking solace and unity, Schubart's approach is a testament to fiction's enduring capacity to inspire, heal, and bind us through shared experiences.
