Bones and All (And So Much More!) w/ Camille DeAngelis

Published: Dec. 24, 2022, 10:45 a.m.

b'Wow! Camille DeAngelis visits the podcast this week and does she have a story to tell!! She is, of course, the author of Bones and All, an inverted fairy tale with a sympathetic girl monster protagonist that has since been turned into an award-winning film starring Timothee Chalamet and Taylor Russell. At heart, though it may not be obvious at first read, this is a book that is steeped in Camille\\u2019s personal disgust at the way we treat animals and, in our discussion, we go into detail about how that led to the decision to write a story about \\u2018eaters,\\u2019 as she calls the ghouls in her story. Camille has clearly cracked the code on bringing her message to the mainstream, and, happily, she is more than willing to share how. In aid of that, she tells us why she wrote her non-fiction book, A Bright Clean Mind, which is a self-help motivational book for artists and creatives that encourages readers to recognize the effect changing our diet can have on our creativity.

\\nCamille DeAngelis is the author of several novels for adults, a middle-grade novel called The Boy From Tomorrow, a travel guide to Ireland, and two more books of nonfiction, Life Without Envy: Ego Management for Creative People and A Bright Clean Mind: Veganism for Creative Transformation. Her young adult novel Bones & All won an Alex Award from the American Library Association in 2016, and Luca Guadagnino\\u2019s film adaptation arrived in theaters in November 2022. She lives in Washington, DC.
