    Tessa Fontaine | Author

    In 2021, many of us still huddled in specific areas. It was a time when 'Short Takes' went digital and in this episode, some of those topics arise with author Tessa Fontaine. At the time, she had released her fantastic nonfiction work 'The Electric Woman: A Memoir In Death-Defying Acts' only several months before. Here lies an entertaining bit of insight on Tessa Fontaine, writer of the note-perfect work 'The Electric Woman: A Memoir in Death-Defying Acts.' Here she teases a new book, which we now know became her first fictional release, 2024's 'The Red Grove.' She also talks about what she envies in others, advises her teenage self, determines what it is about being human (hint: it's not fun), and reveals what's done up real good for her.
