Ep 113: Anna-Marie McLemore

Anna-Marie McLemore, author of THE WEIGHT OF FEATHERS, which was
a finalist for the William C. Morris Debut Award, and WHEN
THE MOON WAS OURS, which was long-listed for the National Book
Award in Young People’s Literature and was a Stonewall Honor
Book. This month, Anna-Marie released her newest novel WILD
BEAUTY.  She talks about funerals as a place to reinforce
collective memories, waiting for that glowing laptop to let you
know it’s time to write a novel, and writing a gender
nonconforming stud.
