Fast forward to 2024, and Reid’s second novel, “Come and Get It” delves even further into the heart of societal complexities. It’s based in a US campus and centered around money and wealth - who has it and who wants it - and the impact it has, on even the most personal of relationships.
In this episode of Ways to Change the World, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Kiley Reid about the importance of finding stability whilst being a writer, the impact of having a theatre background on her writing, and her thoughts on being social media savvy as an author.
Produced by Silvia Maresca and Shaheen Sattar.
