Novelist Blanche McCrary Boyd is one of the main reasons I’m a writer today. Her classes at Connecticut College changed the way I viewed journalism and storytelling. Recently, she released her first book in 20 years— "Tomb of the Unknown Racist," part of a trilogy that also includes "The Revolution of Little Girls" and "Terminal Velocity.” In our interview, Boyd weaves together tragic and funny tales from her amazing life with invaluable teaching points. Think of this as your very own Master Class.
