Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Frank Stasio
What is the thought process behind creative writing? Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Robert Olen Butler decided to show this process rather than to describe it. He created his most recent work of fiction on the Internet, where his students and other curious onlookers could see every daydream, every digression, and every re-write. Find out the results of this experiment, and hear about Butler’s latest book, "Fair Warning."
Guests
