I+T 07: Characterization and Personal History with Eddy Rivera
Comic artist Eddy Rivera joins Sam and Marnie for a hard look at how our personal histories affect the characters we create and the kinds of stories we want to tell. Also in this episode: gendering corn plants, the tools we use to create more richly developed characters, the ethics of incorporating or appropriating other people's stories in to our fiction, and how real Indiana stacks up against Pawnee.
Sam recommends: the Parker novels by Donald E Westlake AKA Richard Stark Marnie recommends: H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald
