Welcome back to the Finding the Throughline interview with Denali Sai Nalamalapu, author of the brand new book, “Holler: A Graphic Memoir of Rural Resistance,” which tells the story of six frontline resistors to the Mountain Valley pipeline in Appalachia.

In this final installment of our interview, we cover:
- The graphic novels and streaming shows that are inspiring Denali these days
- Making the shift to writing for young adults
- Listening to your audience–not just talking at them
- Finding hope for huge problems (like climate change)
- The shows and books that are helping Denali learn how to write in a way that engages a younger audience
- The song that helps Denali “get in touch with being a little blip in a very big world”
- The food Denali describes as “a flavorful cloud”
