SUMMARY:WORKSHOP: Non-Fiction Points of View With Lyndsie Bourgon
DESCRIPTION:To write rich narratives that elicit empathy\, writers need to get into the heads and lives of characters they might disagree with. In this conversation\, we’ll explore the sometimes murky area between truth and honesty\, and discuss methods for writing stories from all angles\, including oral history interviews\, archival research\, and fieldwork. \nLyndsie Bourgon’s first book\, Tree Thieves: Crime and Survival in North America’s Woods\, was a New York Times editors’ choice. She is a writer\, oral historian\, and 2018 National Geographic Explorer.
