During a recent interview with This American Life host Ira Glass, I asked about his favorite storytellers. Here's his list...
Errol Morris
Michael Lewis ("especially The Blind Side")
Malcolm Gladwell
Jack Hitt
David Sedaris
"The guys who put together The Wire" (David Simon, Ed Burns, etc)
"The guys who did Battlestar Galactica, which is a work of genius storytelling and, sometimes, the most annoying thing ever on TV."
Lawrence Weschler
Bill Buford
Chuck Klosterman
Glass included Lewis, Gladwell, Hitt, Weschler, Buford, and Klosterman in The New Kings of Nonfiction, the book he edited in 2007. You can read my story about Glass in the current issue of Baltimore. This Saturday, WYPR brings Glass to MICA for a talk.
