In the fourth episode in the Point season of Elements, I talk to Kirsten McDougall about point of view and how it relates to her writing. We use as starting point for this discussion first-person perspective.
Some of the things we talk about are:
Here’s a link to Kirsten’s new book She’s a Killer
Here’s a link to Maggie Shipstead’s book Great Circle
Here’s a link to Olga Ravn’s book The Employees
Exercise:
Think of three people who you saw yesterday. Now write three first-person perspectives of yesterday. What does each person choose to tell you about their day?
