Today Ila brought back her first project–in image and text–from Dutchess Art Camp.

I am leading a workshop tomorrow on long-form writing at the SAJA convention and plan to use Robert Boynton’s New New Journalism as a point of entry into our conversation:

The New New Journalists bring a distinct set of cultural and social concerns to their work. Neither frustrated novelists nor wayward newspaper reporters, they tend to be magazine and book writers who have benefited enormously from both the legitimacy Wolfe’s legacy has brought to literary nonfiction, and from the concurrent displacement of the novel as the most prestigious form of literary expression.
