Joanna Rakoff discusses the first pages of her memoir, My Salinger Year, how she approached the writing through the vantage point of a novelist, her use of the royal we, her poetry background and how it influenced her sentences, and her advice to begin your book with what you’re most passionate about, in whatever form that may be.
Another enlightening podcast. I'm eager to read Joanna Rakoff's notes she uses in her teaching.
