Behind the ProseEpisode 35: Salon editor Kim Brooks discusses her debut novel The HouseguestIf you’ve ever wondered how to write an alternating point-of-view historical novel with prose that wields similes like samurai swords, then Kim Brooks’ second appearance on Behind the Prose is for you.
Brooks graces the virtual studio a second time to discuss her debut novel The Houseguest, out on April 12, 2016 on Counterpoint Press. (Her first time here featured a candid chat on her work at Salon as the personals essays editor.)

Behind the ProseEpisode #17: Running across genres with Rachel Toor, Part TwoIt's the most anticipated podcast episode of the season . . . Part Two of Rachel Toor's amazing interview which aired in April.
I interviewed Rachel a few weeks ago and we had a great conversation about the magic of fiction. Though On the Road to Find Out is her first novel, the mystical experience she recounts jives with what I've heard other fiction writers say, including Natalie Baszile, author of Queen Sugar, in episode 7 of Behind the Prose. To borrow Baszile's words, "it's magic."
In this episode, Rachel's got the wand and she knows how to use it.2015-05-1700 min
Behind the ProseNatalie Baszile's Queen Sugar picked up by OWN; Baszile talks craft on 3/1It is with great Behind the Prose pride that I share awesome news about Natalie Baszile's first novel. Queen Sugar is moving to Oprah Winfrey's OWN network under the helm of "Selma" director Ava DuVernay.
I am proud, but I'm not surprised. Days before the news broke, I wrote "If there ever was a novel that surely will be a movie, Queen Sugar is it."
I met Natalie at the 2012 VONA Voices Workshop. In a nonfiction workshop taught by Faith Adiele, I had the pleasure of reading excerpts of Natalie's memoir in progress. The same rhetorical qualities that endeared me to her...2015-03-0200 min
Otherppl with Brad ListiEpisode 257 — Natalie BaszileNatalie Baszile is the guest. Her debut novel, Queen Sugar, is now available from Pamela Dorman Books.
O Magazine says
“In Queen Sugar, two bulwarks of American literature—Southern fiction and the transformational journey—are given a fresh take by talented first time novelist Natalie Baszile . . . [the novel] is a sensory experience, a tableau vivant that Baszile skillfully paints in a palette simultaneously subtle and bold. Queen Sugar is a bright and enticing reminder that, sometimes, you can go home.”
And Joshilyn Jackson, the NY Times bestselling author of Gods in Alabama, says
