Mike White on the New Season of The White Lotus in Sicily
b'The first season of \\u201cThe White Lotus\\u201d won ten Emmy Awards and was a critics\\u2019 favorite. A dark satire of the privileged, the show chronicled the visit to a luxurious Hawaiian resort of a tech mogul and her family, a pair of newlyweds, and a single woman\\u2014all having the worst time of their lives\\u2014while the hotel manager goes off the wagon in a way both hilarious and harrowing. In Season 2, creator Mike White has moved the action to Sicily, and is focussing on gender roles and masculinity. White speaks with the staff writer Naomi Fry about his upbringing as the child of a minister, in a modest family in a wealthy community. \\u201cI hope that I\\u2019m not writing this show for the rest of my career,\\u201d White says. \\u201cBut it does feel like, if you\\u2019re taking a snapshot, I am being true to the things that I\\u2019m thinking about right now.\\u201d'
