Something I thought about:
- Nonlinear storytelling and craft in An Na’s The Place Between Breaths and Malinda Lo’s Last Night at the Telegraph Club. In Na’s book, I was particularly caught up in the seasonal and perspectival shifts. The story jumps around in time in way that makes the narrative feel like it's been refracted through a prism. In Lo’s book, I was surprised by how a brief timeline — the kind one might find in nonfiction — can be used to create tension.
Something I did:
- Wrote some (but not enough) dissertation material.
- Graded some (but not enough) final portfolios.
Something I read:
- The Place Between Breaths by An Na
- Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo
