PRESENTING PARTNER: 90.9 WBUR Boston's NPR News Station
Two innovators talk about employing a variety of narrative strategies to tell a story. Tim Kring, developer and executive producer of the blockbuster NBC show Heroes, will give a visual presentation about his use of transmedia storytelling. Reif Larson, whose The Collected Works of T. S. Spivet follows a long tradition of child narrators (think Holden Caulfield) and an even longer tradition of the bildungsroman (think Huck Finn), talks about how his quirky marginalia and drawings add to his stories. Hosted by Boston Globe technology columnist Scott Kirsner, whose new book is Fans, Friends, and Followers. Sponsored by Liberty Mutual.
