The Art of Narrative Nonfiction

Much is made of the artistry required to write a masterly novel. But what of nonfiction? What are the techniques for turning a garden-variety biography into one that wins both a National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize? Tonight's panel, featuring award-winning nonfiction authors, will explore that question and more. Moderated by David Ewing Duncan, bestselling author of seven books, including the recent Experimental Man: What One Man’s Body Reveals About His Future, Your Health, and Our Toxic World.
