One of the cool things about doing a show about books by contemporary writers is that…they are contemporaries. Like, if you have a question about Frankenstein, you can’t go ask Mary Shelley, she’s dead. But after our conversations about The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, we all had questions. And so we asked her! We’ve been really excited to bring you this episode because as you’re about to hear, Angie Thomas is brilliant and cool and nice and everything you’d hope for in a young adult author. This week, she’ll talk to us about what it’s like seeing your work adapted to the screen.
Angie Thomas was born, raised, and still lives in Jackson, Mississippi. She is a former teen rapper… and we will get into that. The Hate U Give is her debut novel and is a #1 New York Times Bestseller. Of course she is a working writer, and her second novel, On The Come Up, is on shelves now.
