An Interview with Quiara Alegría Hudes
“I rarely have just one idea. I often have a few things knocking around, and it’s kind of like molecules, and they start bumping into each other and I start to learn a lot from how those bumps happen….In some ways those molecules have been knocking about since I was a teenager, since they’re in me. But when I sat down to actually start writing this thing, I knew I wanted it to be about a group of people who tell stories. That was an early conceit. And they’re going to tell stories that gloss over some of the things they’d rather forget, but the stories are also their way of coping with the things they’d rather forget. ”
