episode 283: Interview with Ann Davila Cardinal - THE STORYTELLER'S DEATH
In this interview, Ann and I discuss The Storyteller's Death, how the book is a love letter to Puerto Rico and her family there, the importance of including the sense of smell when creating an immersive setting, why she set the book in the 1970s, her incredible opening sentence, magical realism as a symbol of hope, and much more.
Ann's recommended reads are:
- Half-Blown Rose by Leesa Cross-Smith
- The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
- The Devil Takes You Home by Gabino Iglesias
