jacqueline crooks on toni morrison, dickens, and finding your voice

The Rundown

author jacqueline crooks talks about how toni morrison made her want to write, how charles dickens taught her empathy, and why she's staying away from jane austen. she also mentioned her first memory was being given the water-babies at age 8, which makes total sense. it's all about finding your own story in the books that mess with you.
