Black Women Writers at Work by Claudia Tate

challenging reflective medium-paced

4.0

This book was incredibly inspiring, I learned so much and it made me want to start writing again. These women spoke about their craft in such an accessible, compelling way. Their critiques of society, the literary world, each others works, and their own work wove together in a very cohesive way, despite each writer having a different perspective, a different approach. My biggest criticism of the book is that the interview questions felt choppy, they didn’t flow into the next in a natural, conversational way. There were answers given that could’ve been elaborated or expanded upon, but were not given the space to do so.
