In this episode, Moni Basu, the director of the University of Georgia’s MFA Narrative Nonfiction program, talks with journalist and author Kim Cross.
Kim spent many formative years in the South, swimming in catfish ponds in Alabama, finishing graduate school in Birmingham, and editing stories at Southern Living Magazine.
Kim is the author of three books: “What Stands in a Storm,” explores how people came together in the aftermath of the deadliest tornado outbreak in America; “Stahl House,” is a biography of an architectural gem in Los Angeles and “In Light of All Darkness,” delves into the investigation of the murder of Polly Klaas.
Kim’s books are so deeply reported that readers often feel like they’re standing in the room with her characters. In this conversation with Moni, she discusses how she finds her main characters and then how she pulls all those details out of them.
