Jami Nakamura Lin will discuss comparing “rhetorical time” to “story time” in prose, the different levels of speed and how they function, how time in written narrative differs from time as we see it unfold through movies, tv, etc, how speed relates to the speculative, and how writers can use and twist time to a piece's advantage.

Jami Nakamura Lin is the author of the illustrated speculative memoir The Night Parade (Mariner Books/HarperCollins and Scribe UK, October 24, 2023). A former Catapult columnist, she’s been published in The New York Times, Electric Literature, Passages North, and other publications. She has received fellowships and support from the National Endowment of the Arts and the Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission, Yaddo, Sewanee Writers Conference, We Need Diverse Books, and more. She received her MFA in nonfiction from Pennsylvania State University and lives in the Chicago area.
