DevraDoWrite devotees know that writer Walt Harrington is one of my gods (if you did not know that go here and here and here and here). I recently learned that his new anthology, The Beholder’s Eye: A Collection of America’s Finest Personal Journalism, is now available from Grove Press. With this collection Walt celebrates what he calls the “oft-belittled personal journalism form.†Amazon’s Book Description portrays the collection’s contributors as “reporters who were willing to reveal themselves in order to bring readers insights that were deeper than supposedly objective third-person stories.†This is the type of writing to which I aspire.
This is a must read…and so grows my reading list.
