Inside the Turbulent Journey of Rachel Weaver: The Untold Story Behind Dizzy
JML: I found the narrative structure of your memoir to be exquisite; it put me in mind with the way Don DeLillo deals with time in his 1997 novel, Underworld. The segmentation and handling of time in the two books are similar. Your book has 20 chapters, plus a short preface and a much longer coda. But before each numbered chapter there is a page that tells readers what year of your experience you are in. It’s wonderful pacing. Also, the chapters grow successively shorter, as we progress. All this is quite unusual, unique, really, and quite impressive. How far along were you into the writing when you found your structure?
