Episode 44: The Opening Episode

November 3, 2021

We do openings this week – the openings of books, that is; Akhil’s own as well as those which have served as model and inspiration.

Our series on books and authoring takes a look back at – what else?  – the opening of a book.  What comes first can make all the difference, but what makes for a great opening?  And there are things before the opening – the forward, the preface, the dedication, the title, the cover.  It’s all grist for our mill, with classic openings as well as deep dives into Akhil’s own books’ kickoffs.
