The collection of short stories is set in West Texas, where Watkins spent much of her childhood.
This transcript has been edited lightly for clarity:LaToya Watkins:
And I think it is because I keep this box of characters – this index box with cards full of characters, people that I see and happen upon – and I just put them in the box. And when it’s time, when a situation arises, I dream a situation or fill one to put those characters in, I take them out and sit with them and that situation for a while.
So I think those different practices – what people eat, how they spend their time, even just watching the news, watching the weather – when we were in West Texas, when I was young, was a different experience. Preparing for tornadoes, that sort of thing. So it just kind of left an imprint on me. And I love writing about it.
