Here's what I learned from What Remains by Carole Radziwill:
-The best prologue I’ve read so far because of her journalistic style of writing.
-Structure is so important. It should be seamless, unnoticeable; surprising but not confusing. Never linear.
-Rather than attempt to describe visceral moments from my life where I’ve “cried so hard,” I can skip them altogether.
-Facts are more shocking than trying to describe the shocking thing.
-A strong ending: circled back to the prologue and then closed with a flashback.
