Incorporating characters in nonfiction Every good story has characters, and that includes creative nonfiction. It’s easy for us to forget that when we’re writing first-person essays, like the personal essay and the upcoming memoir essay. But a first person-essay still needs characters—that is, people other than yourself who help bring your story to life. First, let’s talk about why you need these characters. Yes, the story is mainly about you – your experiences, your thoughts and feelings. But if we only ever see you, it can get really boring and you can get too deep inside your own point of view. Without characters, first-person essays can end up feeling like there’s just one person moving through the world in a vacuum, and that can feel incomplete and unrealistic.

Tales of the City Tale of the City was the original book that gave birth to Tale of the city series. It was written by Armistead Maupin, an American novelist in 1970, initially in the San Francisco chronicles. Its set was an apartment complex at Barbary Lane, which includes the landlady, Anna Madrigal. The book looks at the juxtaposition of various segments of life and society in New York. This novel explores American cultures and the complex relationship between sex and sexuality. At the time this novel was being written, sex and sexuality were not viewed at the same angle as we see today. Sexual diversity was there, of course, but not as open as it is now.

But Maupin, in what will become his signature for his novel and TV series, brought out the matter in a clear way – a way which everyone…
