AUTHOR CHAT w/ Chris Whitaker - All the Colors of the Dark

[@jentaubensee]

This was such an amazing author chat! Already looking forward to re-reading All the Colors of the Dark and We Begin at the End. Chris is so amazing and I appreciated how much he shared with us!

@@jentaubensee agreed! I learned so much and can’t wait to read more of his backlist.

Chris was a wonderful guest, and you did an excellent job of interviewing him! It was so interesting to hear the back stories of how he used traumas in his early life to mold him into a writer. I hope to read his earlier books now too. Thank you for hosting him‼️

I agree! He is so talented, and I highly recommend We Begin at the End

I find these conversations so enriching. What a powerful personal story (and it's fascinating to hear someone who finds *America* a safe place!). And it's so interesting to hear about how he has to "learn" the characters...again, as though they exist apart from himself. I find hearing the writer's approach so intriguing. Thanks for arranging these!

@@Toby_S0801 I totally agree! I always think about the book longer because of the author’s added perspective. Ty!

Just a wonderful interview! I hoped to listen live and was unable, so am thrilled that you recorded it.

[@lbtheloverofbooks]

So glad you enjoyed the recording! Isn’t Chris amazing?!?

Was Jimmy a bad man or did he do a bad thing by abusing Saint?
