Blitstein's latest piece in the SF Weekly is A Study in Size, about the success of small secondary schools and the difficulty the San Francisco school district has in accepting them.The luxury of total control of the material I was writing about -- something that is inherently impossible when writing non-fiction -- was liberating, but also daunting, because there was so much pressure to come up with things that were actually interesting enough to carry someone across 300 pages about a subject that isn't "newsworthy" or "true" in the traditional sense.
Blitstein and previous interviewee Joshua Davis will be reading with me as well as Christine Comaford-Lynch on May 18 -- see the listing at the top of the page.
