Second person fiction is often considered “artsy” and “difficult,” but it can also produce uniquely powerful, affecting stories. Authors Rachel Swirsky (“If You Were Dinosaur, My Love”; “A Memory of Wind”) and P H Lee (“The V*mpire”; “Your Own Undoing”), plus perhaps a mystery guest, will discuss a variety approaches to writing fiction in the second-person, including but not limited to you-and-I, ultra-close interiority, and reader-as-character. They’ll cover the effects on reader experience, benefits and obstacles in the writing process, and how to elevate your second-person story game.
