Quotables by Ian Frisch (@IanFrisch and @Ian_Frisch)
“That’s what makes a great story is having character, and setting, and narrative moments and dynamic change.”
“I’m not really just there for the information. I want to be able to understand a character and their motivations and their experience on a deeper level.”
“A good idea knows no experiences level or age.”
Well, here are CNFers, this is CNF, the creative nonfiction podcast where I speak to badass artists about the craft of telling true stories.
Ian Frisch, a master a freelancer and author of Magic is Dead, joins me this glorious CNFriday.
There’s so much great freelancer wisdom in this episode. I know your’e gonna dig it.
Ian mentions how great Patrick Radden Keefe’s Say Nothing and David Grann’s The White Darkness are. Not to mention Bill Buford’s great New Yorker piece on chocolate.
Ian is a prolific writer and his work can be seen here, so I hope you’ll check out his work. It’s an impressive collection.
