In the Margins Blog Tour: Interview with WHITE FLIGHT’s Chris Paslay
Today we are fortunate to be graced with the presence of one of the In the Margins Top TEN National Award winning authors, Christopher Paslay, who wrote White Flight: A Novel in Verse, a story in which readers come face to face with the explosive situations that destroyed the lives of one family and stopped the friendship of two teens because of snitching.
Paslay’s book was written for its readers to learn from the action of the characters in the storyline, which provides powerful impacts on the concepts of friendship and race. Today Chris shares some of his thoughts with us on his background and the inside story of his young adult innovative story.
More information on white flight as a phenomenon, check out this article on the Pacific Standard: https://psmag.com/social-justice/whit...
and an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer that Chris mentions: https://inthemarginssite.files.wordpr...
I'll be posting more about Chris over on my website later this week, so stay tuned!
