- Description:
- Author Terry Kay explains that he wants his readers to "sense" his characters.
Video recording of Georgia author Terry Kay explaining that he wants his readers to "sense" his characters. He sits in an overstuffed chair in his living room. He wears blue jeans and a blue shirt. He faces forward. He begins by stating that he does not reveal much detail about the main characters in his works of fiction because he wants the reader to "sense them rather than see them." He notes that he does give the minor characters in his works a great deal of detail so they will be remembered visually.
Kay is the author of several novels and screenplays, a children's book, and a collection of nonfiction prose. His novel To Dance with the White Dog became a best-seller that was dramatized by the Hallmark Hall of Fame in a televised production. - Metadata URL:
