6/29/2023 0 Comments Books like this tender landMy approach to writing a manuscript depends largely on the type of story I’m creating. Can you tell us about your process? How much of it is planned before you set pen to paper? You book is 450 pages long, (I wish it was longer) much of it written in a notebook at the crack of dawn in your local coffee shop in St Paul, Minnesota where you live. It also will make you fall in love with America again- its beauty and vastness, and the wide cast of personalities who inhabit it. If you want to get lost in a story – and who doesn’t right now – This Tender Land will do it. If you liked Where the Crawdads Sing, then this American saga full of captivating characters and gorgeous prose is for you. Inspired by The Tales of Huckleberry Finn and The Odyssey, Krueger’s book will immerse you in a world both loving and cruel, depression era Minnesota where four orphans escape the merciless Lincoln Indian Training School in a canoe along the Gilead River, all four searching for home. This Tender Land, is an epic story that will draw you in and take you away to a different time and place in America’s checkered past – just what the doctor ordered for these lockdown days. I caught up with best selling author William Kent Krueger whose latest novel, This Tender Land – Q&A with William Kent Krueger January 26th, 2021
