Cameron Ebersold asked Danya Kukafka:

Do you ever read nonfiction? If so can you recommend me something

Danya Kukafka I do! My favorites are Leslie Jamison's The Empathy Exams, or anything by Maggie Nelson (I love The Argonauts). I also just read Sarah Gerard's new essay collection, Sunshine State, which manages a wonderful combination of journalism and memoir. Online, I've been following Ashley Ford and Jia Tolentino.

Robert Blumenthal asked Danya Kukafka:

I see in your Acknowledgments that you gives thanks to the Acorn Yarn Shop. There is an Acorn Yarn Shop just down the street from where my wife and I live in Northeast Seattle. Is that the same yarn shop?

Rennie asked Danya Kukafka:

Hi Danya! I have never read such beautiful prose until I read (just finished) Notes on an Execution. I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon it and you. I have a question about your use of second person for Ansel's chapters. Why did you choose to use that narrative perspective? Why choose it over first person or third? Thank you in advance.

Donna Davis asked Danya Kukafka:

Just finished Girl in Snow--holy Moses!--and I am wondering: will we see any of these characters in your next book? Cameron is particularly riveting, and I won't say more lest I ruin it for others. I used to teach teenagers and am impressed by how well you captured the boundary-pushing behaviors that make adults involved wonder what will be outgrown, and what signifies real trouble that will carry forward.
