Boynton sits down with nineteen practitioners of what he calls the <i>New </i>New Journalism to discuss their methods, writings and careers.<br><br>The New New Journalists are first and foremost brilliant reporters who immerse themselves completely in their subjects. Jon Krakauer accompanies a mountaineering expedition to Everest. Ted Conover works for nearly a year as a prison guard. Susan Orlean follows orchid fanciers to reveal an obsessive subculture few knew existed. Adrian Nicole LeBlanc spends nearly a decade reporting on a family in the South Bronx. And like their muckraking early twentieth-century precursors, they are drawn to the most pressing issues of the day: Alex Kotlowitz, Leon Dash, and William Finnegan to race and class; Ron Rosenbaum to the problem of evil; Michael Lewis to boom-and-bust economies; Richard Ben Cramer to the nitty gritty of politics. How do they do it? In these interviews, they reveal the techniques and inspirations behind their acclaimed works, from their felt-tip pens, tape recorders, long car rides, and assumed identities; to their intimate understanding of the way a truly great story unfolds. <br><br>Interviews with: <br>Gay Talese<br>Jane Kramer*<br>Calvin Trillin<br>Richard Ben Cramer*<br>Ted Conover*<br>Alex Kotlowitz*<br>Richard Preston*<br>William Langewiesche*<br>Eric Schlosser<br>Leon Dash<br>William Finnegan<br>Jonathan Harr*<br>Jon Krakauer*<br>Adrian Nicole LeBlanc<br>Michael Lewis*<br>Susan Orlean<br>Ron Rosenbaum<br>Lawrence Weschler*<br>Lawrence Wright*<br><br>* Search our online catalog to find other titles by these Vintage and Anchor Books authors. 146244 8 3 2005 The New New Journalism: Conversations with America's Best Nonfiction Writers on Their Craft total:135|5:37|4:67|3:25|2:5|1:1| 135 539 245 23 4 0 false false Tue Aug 11 23:01:53 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 23:09:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Oct 07 08:39:13 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 07 08:44:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jan 31 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 08:04:10 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 08:06:45 -0800 2009
