Dorothy Lennon on Black Artistry: Inspiration Recrafted Episode 6

from Black Artistry: Inspiration Recrafted · host Florence Marfo

In this episode, I chat to non-fiction short story writer Dorothy Lennon. We talk about Kiese Laymon's powerful memoir Heavy: An American Memoir and how its honesty liberated Dorothy as a non-fiction writer. Related to Kiese's work and one of the interesting elements of our conversation for me as a linguist are Dorothy's insights on African American vernacular expression. Dorothy shares some of her own writing, including the hilarious non-fiction short story 'Momma Sounds Like a White Girl'. I can't wait for her forthcoming short story 'The Closets of Others' to come out.
