  • 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.

    "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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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?

      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.
