Blog Iowa 80
Once I read "Friday Night at Iowa 80," I realized how much I liked that kind of narrative writing. What interested me was that you can really get to know the people that he interviewed because you feel as if you are right there next to the author. Interviewing the men and women who eat sleep and breathe their work is probably the only way to get real, and accurate answers to the questions that you are dying to know the answer to. This was evident in this perticular story because even though the author did not get his questions answered at first, he kept listening and eventually they would let slip what he wanted to know. This story was a good example of ethnography and how one should go about gathering information about their subjects.
