13: Vignettes and the Velvet Hammer, a From the Ashes deep dive

In today's episode I have Ginny Walters back with me to deep dive From the Ashes further. We examine how Jesse Thistle uses vignettes to manage the reading experience and guide the reader through what is a very difficult narrative. Writing through vignettes does not come naturally to me as a writer, and so I loved examining this device with Ginny.

You can find your own copy of From the Ashes here, and can find other episodes where we discuss this memoir here.
