Kiley Reid: On Representation of Language & Examining Race in Fiction

<p>Today’s guest is Kiley Reid, a recent graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop where she was the recipient of the Truman Capote Fellowship. She lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Such A Fun Age is her first novel. Kiley joined me today to talk about Such A Fun Age, and how writing two dimensional characters – people who are both good and bad – is how to make them true to life. Also covered, work life without a living wage, representing race on the page through language choice, and the truth that resides in fiction. </p> <p> </p> <a href='https://www.mindymcginnis.com/support-the-blog-podcast'>Support the Podcast</a> <a href='http://www.mindymcginnis.com/podcast/kylie-reid-on-representation-of-language-amp-examining-race-in-fiction'>Read the Transcript</a> <p> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">Links for Kiley:</p> <p style="text-align:center;">Site: <a href='https://kileyreid.com/'>https://kileyreid.com/</a></p> <p style="text-align:center;">Instagram: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/kileyreid/'>https://www.instagram.com/kileyreid/</a></p> <p>  </p> <p style="text-align:center;">Ad Links: </p> <p style="text-align:center;">Leaner Creamer: <a href='https://leanercreamer.com/discount/FIRE15'>https://leanercreamer.com/discount/FIRE15</a></p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p> </p>
