Autoren geben Einblicke in das Schreiben von Büchern über Sekten

Harrison Hill und Benjamin Hale tauschten kürzlich E-Mails über ihre neuen Bücher aus, in denen sie amerikanische Sekten und persönliche spirituelle Reisen untersuchen. Das Gespräch beleuchtet die Unterschiede in ihren Ansätzen zum erzählenden Sachbuch.

Hills Buch, The Oracle’s Daughter, untersucht das Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps, während Hales Cave Mountain sich auf eine Sekte in Missouri konzentriert, die mit einem Mord aus dem Jahr 1978 in Verbindung gebracht wird. Beide Autoren begannen mit Zeitschriftenartikeln, bevor sie diese zu vollständigen Werken ausbauten und dabei ihre Erzählungen neu gestalteten.
