In this episode, we discuss “The Art of Losing” by Yoon Choi. How does point of view help reveal a character’s mental state? How does point of view in this story help build tension? How can a story explore an idea with plot? How can side-plots and side-characters help explore a theme? How does point of view intersect with the show/tell advice? What can we learn about point of view from the cognitive predisposition for confabulation? Can JC connect story-craft with experiments on split-brain patients? How can giving all the information still create a tension of uncertainty in the story?
