Jonathan Capehart👍 Recommends
…citing memoir influences that shaped approach to writing his own book
“Fast forward 20 years, I read Charles Blow's memoir, Fire Shut Up in My Bones. Again, raw, open, honest, introspective. And it showed me where the passion came from in Charles' columns for The New York Times. So now you have these two diametrically opposed people. One gay, one straight. One black, one white. One male, one female. One in, you know, in the later end of her career and life. The other one sort of smack in the middle. And I thought, if ever I write a book, that's my guide.”
