Part 7: Mona Gable

Mona Gable is a freelance writer based in Los Angeles. Her work has appeared in The Atlantic, Outside, AFAR, the Los Angeles Times, and many others. Her article in Los Angeles magazine, “The Hugo Problem,” was named a Longreads Best of 2015. Since 1990, she has written about social issues, culture, and politics for the Los Angeles Times. Gable grew up in San Diego, California, and is a graduate of UC Berkeley. Her memoir, “Blood Brother: The Gene That Rocked My Family,” was published in 2014 by Shebooks.

Her new novel, Searching for Savanna, arose out of a story she wrote for the late Pacific Standard magazine. It is a gripping and illuminating investigation into the disappearance of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind when she was eight months pregnant, highlighting the shocking epidemic of violence against Native women in America and the societal ramifications of government inaction.
