NATASHIA DEÓN: When I first wrote Lou and Sarah, it felt like they were different people but also the same people. SARAH NEILSON: What inspired the character of Lou/Sarah? Shondaland spoke with Deón about dreams, the future and the past, the personal and cultural history of Los Angeles, violence, and what it means to do better as people and as a society. With The Perishing, Deón explores agency, race, place, and life and death narratives in beautiful, propulsive prose. She was nominated for an NAACP Image Award (among others) for her first novel, Grace, an intergenerational saga that followed a group of women in the 1840s South. Deón is also an attorney, activist, teacher, and the founder of both L.A.’s Dirty Laundry Lit reading series and the criminal reentry and clemency project Redeemed. Thus begins Deón’s intricately woven and immersive story, and it only gets more engrossing from there. Tananarive Due on Her Horror Novel 'The Between'. Katharine Blake on Heartbreak, Love, and Loss.
