Manage episode 407196897 series 3558700
Charmaine Wilkerson's pie-in-the-sky aspiration for her debut novel -- Black Cake -- was simply to get it published. The former journalist whose award-winning short stories can be found in various UK and US anthologies and magazines may have sold herself short. In the two years since Black Cake was published, Wilkerson's novel would land on President Barack Obama's "Favorite Books of 2022" list and went on to lay the foundation for Hulu’s television adaptation (executive produced by Oprah Winfrey). In an exclusive sit-down with Press Pause, Wilkerson shared her inspirations for her novel, her process for writing and (no spoilers!) whether fans should be optimistic for a season season.
