Beskrivning

Drawing on O'Brien's experience of cancer and of childhood abuse, and on his ongoing collaboration with a war reporter, the four essays in A Story that Happens-first written as craft lectures for the Sewanee Writers' Conference and the US Air Force Academy-offer hard-won insights into what stories are for and the reasons why, "afraid and hopeful," we begin to tell them.
