I'm actually thinking about that a lot lately. Partly, this is a little tangential, but I just saw the movie after Sun. Have you seen that? I haven't yet. I've been recommended to me. Good. But there's a point where the little girl asks her father who's only 31. She's 11 and he's 31. And so like, are you still that 11 year old or not? If you can't remember who that 11-year-old was?"
Peggy Orenstein is a journalist and author. Her latest book is Unraveling.
“The challenge is… to not want to say, I need to know what the book is about. I need to have my chapters. I need to know what exactly I'm looking for. Because it's really scary to just go out and report and have trust that there's going to be interesting things and that if you just keep going, you're going to find them. So to not foreclose possibility and options and ideas is the biggest reporting challenge for those sorts of books for me.”
