Listen "Brad Kessler - 2/27/23"
Episode Synopsis
Award-winning Vermont Author Brad Kessler in conversation about his 2021 novel, North (Overlook Press).
One review of Brad Kessler’s work, a blurb by the author Chris Abani, mentions the way that Brad lets his characters’ dignity lead the story. I love this observation, and have been thinking a lot about it. This week’s Write the Book Prompt is to consider the dignity of your characters, no matter what their goals, obstacles, or plight. Consider their dignity as you work to make them real, honest, not caricatures of good or bad. Keep their dignity in mind as you try to find your way, and help them find theirs.
Good luck with your work in the coming week, and tune in next week for another prompt or suggestion.
