Tin House Live : On Dialogue with Dorothy Allison
from Between The Covers : Conversations with Writers in Fiction, Nonfiction & Poetry
Dorothy Allison treated the participants of the 2011 Summer Workshop to a spirited discussion of how characters should speak on the page. Not only “he said, she said, none of them said a thing,” but a whole range of language issues—what is said and not said, dialect and rhythm, pacing, patterns in speech, and most importantly, the language of gesture and avoidance.
