Wade Rouse podcast
I like reading memoirs. Recently I started to wonder about how the authors decide to organize their material, because sometimes there would be a character or situation that I wished they’d devoted more ink to.
For instance, one of my favorite books of the year, Wade Rouse’s “America’s Boy: a Memoir“, has a lot of interesting characters that I wanted to hear more about, and I was imagining how the author chose the particular episodes that he did.
Well! Luckily, other people have wondered the same thing, and Wade Rouse was here in 2007 at the Main Library illuminating this very subject in his talk, The Musings of a Memoirist: From the Slush Pile to a Life in Print, which is available right here:
