Here in Los Angeles, we spend a lot of time in our cars, whether we like it or not. Most of us don't. Listening to the stories on the radio, however, helps transport us to other worlds. Helps us forget we're stuck in traffic. Helps us be more interesting, compelling characters.
This graphic novel is a fun book to read wherever. Helps you understand how stories get on the radio. Explains what makes a good story great. Why radio endures.
As a professional storyteller and a writing teacher/mentor, I often make the very same points Jessica Abel illustrates so well. I just may have to assign Jessica Abel's novel as required reading to my students. Abel is a fellow University of Chicago alum so I'm thrilled for her success.
It's also fun to see names with faces. So that's what Glynn Washington and Alix Spiegel look like. Everything you wanted to know about public radio, but didn't know whom to ask.
I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review.
