Tk With James Scott

At first, she wrote essays as a distraction from her fiction, but over time, Grace Talusan felt the pull of the experiences that would form the foundation of her memoir, THE BODY PAPERS. From immigration to cancer to sexual abuse, the book depicts a life marked by trauma, and yet through it all there is humor, family, and hope. Grace tells James how she embraced her own story, faced honesty, and escaped despair. Plus, Grace's editor and Restless Books marketing director, Nathan Rostron.  - Grace Talusan: http://gracetalusan.com/ Buy THE BODY PAPERS: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781632061836 Grace and James Discuss:  UC-Irvine  Joanne Diaz  Restless Books  Ilan Stavans  ONCE MORE TO THE RODEO by Calvfin Hennick  Ross White's THE GRIND  Bread Loaf Writer's Conference  Tell All  Grub Street  Alysia Abbott  Celeste Ng  Porter Square Books  Whitney Scharer  Chunky Monkeys  Jeff Rubin THE FACT OF A BODY by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich  Tufts University Counseling Center  - Nathan Rostron of RESTLESS BOOKS: http
