Writers are increasingly told to stay in the lane of their expertise or imagined racial group. WritersMosaic interrogates this notion by asking nine writers how they attempt to think beyond the parameters of their cultural identity, or to address why they might find it problematic. In doing so, they reflect on the limits of empathy and the risks and rewards of straying from your lane.
