The Shit No One Tells You About Writing · Author Insights From Chris Bohjalian, Bailey Hannah and Tarah DeWitt · 6 Aug 2026 podcast

punishes herself are are really really really really awful but also in terms of her deciding never to play golf again and deciding that's that becomes really important later on i don't want to give away any spoilers so it feeds into so many different things that chris has managed to use now let's talk voice-verified

about when you write a book from a first-person perspective that it's in their future and they're able to look back on their lives as opposed to writing it in a linear way. voice-verified

It starts when she hits the golf ball into his head and we go through time with her. voice-verified

A lot of that allows for foreshadowing, which you use to great effect because she's in the future. voice-verified

She knows how things have worked out, but she's still telling the story as a story. voice-verified

And this is what we're constantly saying to our memoirists. voice-verified

Just because something's memoir means it doesn't have to read like fiction. voice-verified

This is a great book to read for memoirists to go, okay, imagine this was her real life and look at how she's positioning it as a memoir that reads like fiction. voice-verified

So is that the reason why you wanted to write it from that point in the future, Chris, as opposed to just beginning with it when she hits the golf ball and moving forward linearly? voice-verified

Here we go. voice-verified

I've found it. voice-verified

It's a table of contents. voice-verified

Prologue one. voice-verified

Part one. voice-verified

There won't be a trial. voice-verified

There will never be a trial. voice-verified

part two, the season of depositions, part three, the trial, then epilogue. voice-verified

So it is pretty funny how upfront you've been with us there, Chris. voice-verified

Yeah, yeah. voice-verified

And again, we talk about stakes and we talk about upping the stakes all the time. voice-verified
