On this episode of the Hindmancast, the Troublesome boys are joined by author Robert Gipe to discuss the 2022 Appalachian Writers Workshop, how the workshop has benefitted his career, and what advice he would give to participants.

When it comes to Native American heritage, most Americans have woefully inadequate knowledge. They may have heard of Squanto or Sacajawea, but that is the extent of their understanding. A 2018 research project conducted by The First Nations Development Institute and Echo Hawk Consulting found that most Americans think there aren't many Native Americans left in the country, which just isn't true. There are close to 600 federally recognized tribes in the United States. November is National Native American Heritage Month so we want to introduce you to some Native authors to add to your TBR all year long including our guest today, who is a new voice in fiction. Our guest this week is Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle, a member of the Eastern Tribe of Cherokee Indians, who is deeply rooted in the Cherokee community in North Carolina. She has been a high school English and Cherokee Studies teacher for the past 10 years. But she is also a novelist whose debut historical fiction novel, Even As We Breathe, was published this past September by a new literary imprint called Fireside Industries, a collaboration between The Appalachian Writers Workshop and the University Press of Kentucky. Annette talks to us about the James Baldwin quote that inspired her to write about a clean bone which has significance in her writing practice as well as her novel, what things she learned from her editor, well-known Kentucky author Silas House, and how she wants to use her influence of being a Cherokee novelist to educate the wider public that Native Americans are something very different from what they see in old Westerns and popular culture. Books Mentioned in this Episode: 1- Even As We Breathe by Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle 2- Beverly Cleary books 3- Babysitters Club series 4- The Prettiest Star by Carter Sickels 5- F*ckface: And Other Stories by Leah Hampton 6- Going to Water by Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle 7- Myths of the Cherokee by James Mooney (and other books) 8- Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate 9- Crooked Hallelujah by Kelli Jo Ford 10- When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry by Joy Harjo 11- Horsepower by Joy Priest 12- City of Saints and Thieves by Natalie C. Anderson 13- Americanah by Chimimanda Ngozi Adichie 14- The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy 15- Calypso by David Sedaris 16- A Kind of Freedom by Margaret Wilkerson Sexton

She was born in Knoxville in 1943, and raised in Cincinnati, OH. She now makes her home in Blacksburg, VA where she has taught at Virginia Tech since 1987.

Learn how to cook green beans that make people cry, and heritage boiled dressing for cole slaw. Consider Ouita’s guidance on how to honor a cuisine and extend its reach by refreshing it with current flavors. And find the answer to that puzzling question: what is Kentucky food? All in one lovely episode. Enjoy!
