We kick off a new season with the brilliant Jane Alison and a wide-ranging conversation about form and structure in fiction and memoir.

This is a nerdy, writerly deep dive to welcome listeners to a new season. Also of note is a new feature, Substackin’, which will be rounding out each episode this season. This week’s Substackin’ is inspired by Brooke’s post.

Write-minded is celebrating memoir as an evolving form this week, tackling the difference between imaginative writing in memoir and writing in memoir that might not be true.

Listen in to this episode to find out more, and to hear from a rising talent, guest Shze-Hui Tjoa.

Emotional Expression Is as Scary and Important as You Think It Is, featuring Erica Jong and Lilly Dancyger
lundi 22 août 2022 • Durée 35:35
This week Write-minded revisits two powerful interviews in which guests Erica Jong and Lilly Dancyger shared with us about the power of emotion on the page. Erica Jong’s work has often centered fear and desire while Lilly Dancyger’s work has circled anger. Both women share the power of unlocking emotion on the page, and touch upon the ways in which women are expected to be more confined in their emotional expression. This is exactly why it’s so important to feel those emotions and express them on the page, and these two authors give the absolute permission to do so, and model how in their wonderful works of fiction and nonfiction.
