{"product_id":"9781400033560","title":"The New New Journalism","description":"Forty years after Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, and Gay Talese launched the New   Journalism movement, Robert S. Boynton sits down with nineteen practitioners of what   he calls the \u003ci\u003eNew \u003c\/i\u003eNew Journalism to discuss their methods, writings and careers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The New New Journalists are first and foremost brilliant reporters who immerse themselves   completely in their subjects. Jon Krakauer accompanies a mountaineering expedition   to Everest. Ted Conover works for nearly a year as a prison guard. Susan Orlean follows   orchid fanciers to reveal an obsessive subculture few knew existed. Adrian Nicole   LeBlanc spends nearly a decade reporting on a family in the South Bronx. And like   their muckraking early twentieth-century precursors, they are drawn to the most pressing   issues of the day: Alex Kotlowitz, Leon Dash, and William Finnegan to race and class;   Ron Rosenbaum to the problem of evil; Michael Lewis to boom-and-bust economies; Richard   Ben Cramer to the nitty gritty of politics. How do they do it? In these interviews,   they reveal the techniques and inspirations behind their acclaimed works, from their   felt-tip pens, tape recorders, long car rides, and assumed identities; to their intimate   understanding of the way a truly great story unfolds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Interviews with: \u003cbr\u003e Gay Talese\u003cbr\u003e Jane Kramer\u003cbr\u003e Calvin Trillin\u003cbr\u003e Richard Ben Cramer\u003cbr\u003e Ted Conover\u003cbr\u003e Alex Kotlowitz\u003cbr\u003e Richard   Preston\u003cbr\u003e William Langewiesche\u003cbr\u003e Eric Schlosser\u003cbr\u003e Leon Dash\u003cbr\u003e William Finnegan\u003cbr\u003e Jonathan   Harr\u003cbr\u003e Jon Krakauer\u003cbr\u003e Adrian Nicole LeBlanc\u003cbr\u003e Michael Lewis\u003cbr\u003e Susan Orlean\u003cbr\u003e Ron Rosenbaum\u003cbr\u003e Lawrence Weschler\u003cbr\u003e Lawrence Wright","brand":"Robert Boynton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47794222399700,"sku":"9781400033560","price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_7d80efc4-d01c-46fc-a45e-59e4e3118fc9.jpg?v=1776184128","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781400033560","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
