In this episode, we discuss “To the Measures Fall” by Richard Powers.  What can we learn from a story written in a “Choose Your Own Adventure” style?  What can we learn about character from a story whose main character is “You”?  How can a narrative be driven by the way a character continues to find new meaning in her long relationship with a book?  How can description and metaphor borrow from a character’s interests—how can a character help frame the way you describe things in a story?  How can an initial conflict that continually snowballs help develop a story?
