Ethan Watters

Pre-lecture questions

Getting excited for the lecture!!

Best. Class. Ever.

Well... If you look at the pictures above, it really is Crazy Like Us!

I attended the Ethan Watters "lecture" yesterday. I didn't feel like it was a lecture, but rather an explanation of how he came to write Crazy Like Us. It was interesting, engaging and I think very few people were zoning out and falling asleep.

What interested me the most about Ethan Watters' discussion, was when he talked about his freelance work and how he got to where he is now. The Writer's Grotto is an office space where over 30 writers can come and write their articles and have it reviewed by other members of The Writer's Grotto.

After reading Crazy Like Us and hearing Mr. Watters' writing process and research process, I am intrigued to read his other books and articles in the New York Times Magazine, as well as checking out The Writer's Grotto.

Oh, and he also told us 10 Things Not To Do Before Going on The Daily Show. That was funny.
