“I often talk to my students and I feel like I’m looking at the story through a dirty window. And I just want you to take the pane of glass out so I can see the story,” says Emma Copley Eisenberg, @frumpenberg.
Happy #CNFriday, CNFers!
Emma Copley Eisenberg is here to talk about The Third Rainbow Girl. It’s been highly touted as one of the better debut works of nonfiction. It’s great for its blending of genres and pushing the boundaries of what it means to write “true crime.”
If you’re looking for a whodunnit, this is not your book, which should pique your interest even more.
A few things we riff on:
- A window in journalism world
- Structure
- Her book’s many false starts
- And pushing the boundaries of creative nonfiction
