Two-Faced: The Art of Multiple Perspectives

Sometimes, there's one perfect perspective through which to tell a story, but other times, a story requires multiple angles to convey the whole picture. Multiple perspectives can open up a story's possibilities, showcase a writer's range, and build suspense and tension. However, they can also confuse or annoy the reader or slow the story's pacing if not incorporated with care. We'll study examples of multiple-perspective magic by Alice Munro, May-Lee Chai, Tommy Orange, and Yoon Choi and learn how to craft our own stories.
