- She is the breakout talent whose debut novel, "The Rabbit Hutch," won Tess Gunty the National Book Award for fiction. The novel, set in a downtrodden city inspired by her hometown of South Bend, Indiana, follows young adults who have aged out of the foster care system without having found a "forever" family. CBS News' Robert Costa talks with the 30-year-old author about her own background - both similar and different from her protagonist's - and about her passionate advocacy for the craft of novel writing.

Amazing novel. This interview only scratched the surface of how brilliant Tess Gunty is.
My creative niece!!I She is beautiful inside and out🩵
I loved her book The Rabbit Hutch👍
Absolutely hooking from the first sentence. She is equally brilliant as she is beautiful.
Please tell her (as if she doesn't already know) that she is a FANTASTIC writer.
"The Rabbit Hutch" is a terrific novel, well-deserving of the National Book Award. It's rare to see a debut novel so ambitious in scope and structure, a polyphonic novel that allows to experience a sense of place and time holistically, from so many angles. Yet the book is also very accessible and readable, and resonates strongly with anyone from an area living in the aftermath of losing its industry. It does what many great novels do--- it gives us the a view of the political through the lens of the personal, but never sacrifices story or character to hammer a point. It is refreshingly human, and also has rewarding pockets of humor, and a fascinating chapter featuring her brother's artwork. A stunning achievement.
A beautiful lady with a beautiful mind and talent. Long may she write and be read!
She has calm beautiful energy. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world.
The fact there is book banning in the year if 2023 is so absurd, it's insane and disgusting. Along with many others, books are the reasons for knowledge and they fuel the imagination.
The Rabbit Hutch seems like a fascinating book.
I want to read this. And I hope she writes more. Maybe some of her works can become movies.
I loved the novel. I hope she'll be a very prolific writer because i want to read everything she'll write
I look forward to reading this book 📕 👍🏾
It’s a writer’s world 🌎.
Look how they're grooming Robert Costa to be a future network news anchor. He already has the chops of a political reporter and analyst. And here they are giving him a literary story to cover. What a well-rounded training he is receiving.
I've always been a Bob fan,but he was better as the host of Washington Week,that was his calling - a moderator.
I really appreciate her statement anout Indiana, "monolithic" demographic...I was born there and this is a hopeful seed....limit myself to visits there now, family. I will pick up book, it sounds close to home for me.
Wow. She is deep. We're going to hear more from her.
I am an Indiana girl and I loved this book.
So if you want to know what the book is actually about, read it. But it's a novel. Great novels aren't specifically about anything. They have a plot, but their value comes from character development, keen observation, wit, insight, ideas. These Gunty displays very well.
That's false. Great novels are almost always about something. They are not just character development.
Go tess go!! 💜
Looking forward to reading this!
Excellent book!! ❤
I've visited many US states but TBH Indiana was never a destination for me. I'm more interested in reading the book then visiting the state.
My dad was a corn and soybean farmer so I agree,the Midwest cornbelt is not on my bucket list as a tourist destination as well. The last thing I want to see. 👀
Hopefully my debut novel will be successful, too.
LIFE is VAST and VARIOUS and MYSTERIOUS! Fact is truly in many instances stranger than fiction.
I have not a single clue what this story is even about.
Same here. Never got the tie-in with Studebaker and the storyline.
It's essentially about mastering one's circumstances, lest the circumstances master you. Oh, wait, strike that. That's A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles.
Why not read it?
5:25 Guess we’ve got more work to do educating the public - there are many thousands of blacksmiths across North America producing architectural work, art, tools, etc.
I wanted to like this book, but it just wasn't for me.
It sounds dull, to me anyway.
She is drinking Liquid Death?! 😂
Fiction?
Yes, a novel.
@@grahamfloyd3451 It felt so real.
Photogenic, socially aware. Shoo in for awards.
photogenic what?
@@mdbdoc I am with you ... ugh to the "photogenic" comment.
@@mdbdocAppearance. She's beautiful. Get it? 😂
She could be a model if her next book is a flop.
This girl speaks in a very pretentious tone. Odd, but congrats on the success.
Nonsense. Good diction is very attractive. In this case, it's paired with eloquence, but her tone is completely natural and you can tell she's speaking spontaneously. You may be unused to crisp diction used to express thoughtful ideas and thus dismiss it as pretention, but would you rather have nasaly lilts with lots of vocal fry or swallowed consonants?
Two academics lining near the poverty line?
In the photography they showed one can see 4 very small children, two at least even looking like twins. Probably one of the parents had to stay at home, or working part-time for some years and the best colleges in the USA are very expensive without a good scholarship. She referred she went to a catholic high school, which I imagine was private. Her BA is from Notre Dame which is equally private.
Awesome! 🙂 As an award-winning author, this is really cool to see another author receiving some well-deserved recognition.

"Before I start, I must see my end.
Destination known, my mind’s journey now begins.
Upon my chariot, heart and soul’s fate revealed.
In time, all points converge, hope’s strength re-steeled.
But to earn final peace at the universe's endless refrain,
We must see all in nothingness...
Before we start again."

Is the book a Vote Democrat only?
It's not a political science book
SO FAKE. Shopped video, false stories
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤦♂
🤫 I see you didn’t read it.
@@theresa3 You are have been lied to by Hillary Clinton, Barrak Obama. 📺

How is it fake? It is made clear that it is fiction, like many books
