On Writing Through Pain - Guest Nadine Pinede! (When the Mapou Sings)
In this episode, Tananarive talks to author, poet and scholar Nadine Pinede about her difficult journey bringing her debut novel to life, WHEN THE MAPOU SINGS - a novel about a young girl's experiences in historical Haiti, including encounters with Zora Neale Hurston. And the novel is entirely in verse!
National Book Award winner Edwidge Danticat calls the book "a stunning revelation." They talk about managing a writing practice through pain and how the novel transformed over the years.
The author requests donations to the Claudette Pinede Memorial Scholarship Fund to support Haitian women in STEM:
