Beschreibung
Part anthology and part craft guide, this collection of pieces from the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist offers something for readers and writers alike. Lane DeGregory loves true stories, intimate details, and big ideas. In her three-decade career as a journalist, she has published more than 3,000 stories and won the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing. Her acclaimed work in the Tampa Bay Times often takes her to the edges of society, where she paints empathetic portraits of real-life characters like a 99-year-old man who still works cleaning a seafood warehouse, a young couple on a bus escaping winter, and a child in the midst of adoption. In The Girl in the Window and Other True Tales, DeGregory not only offers up the first collection of her most unforgettable newspaper features she pulls back the curtain on how to write narrative nonfiction. This book part anthology, part craft guide provides a forensic reading of twenty-four of DeGregory s singular stories, illustrating her tips for writers alongside pieces that put those elements under the microscope. Each of the pieces gathered here including the Pulitzer Prize winning title story is accompanied by notes on how she built the story, plus tips on how nonfiction writers at all levels can do the same. Featuring a foreword by Beth Macy, author of the acclaimed Dopesick, this book is sure to delight fans of DeGregory s writing, as well as introduce her to readers and writers who have not yet discovered her inspiring body of work.
