JulyDiaz 2797 Posted June 18, 2014 In Episode 19 of Season 3, authors Michael, Michael, and special guest author Susan Orlean wet their beaks with the topic of Perspectives on Writing: From Cave Drawings to Computer Code and Back. What is the difference between Non-fiction and Fiction writing? What does the phrase Creative Non-fiction mean? Are cave drawings considered Non-fiction? Tune in as Michael, Michael, and Susan get their beaks wet as they discuss a juicy topic filled with words and language. “Topics” features original music by Dan Deacon. Share this post Link to post
Mathew Shit 115 Posted June 21, 2014 I really liked Susan Orlean. Please have her back for a journalism based topic. Share this post Link to post
BrianBouton 32 Posted July 15, 2014 I found this topic highly instructive as to what the difference is between non-fiction and fiction. I was once banned from a reading group because I argued the Lord of the Rings was non-fiction because it was a truthful account of their journey to Mordor. Now I see that even if Tolkien told us everything that happened (see the Simarillion), there wasn't actually a Middle Earth, hobbits, or a Sauron trying to take over the country. Well, there is not archaeological record, yet, but I imagine it's because they can't dig deep enough with all the big cities covering Europe and England. Share this post Link to post
