First Draft - Dantiel Moniz

Joining us this week is Dantiel Moniz, author of the debut short story collection MILK BLOOD HEAT. This collection touches on the intimacies and darker impulses in all of us, traversing topics such as womanhood, infidelity, loss, survival, and how the undercurrents of identity impact every decision we make.  Moniz cites WHITE OLEANDER by Janet Fitch as an all-time favorite book, a cornerstone of her formative years and forever influencing her approach to her own writing. This novel, originally published in 1999, follows Astrid Magnussen, the teen daughter of famed poet Ingrid Magnussen. When Ingrid is convicted of murder, Astrid moves from foster home to foster home across the city of Los Angeles, and must overcome horrific tragedy to discover who she really is. We discuss the prose, characters, themes, and impact of WHITE OLEANDER, all while avoiding spoilers along the way. Moniz also shares insight on numerous other topics, such as what popular culture gets wrong about Florida, her takeaways from her MFA, and so much more. This is a fun, laid-back conversation that we hope you enjoy. Dantiel's Website: https://www.dantielwmoniz.com/ Follow the Your Favorite Book podcast on instagram and twitter @yfbpodcast
