Eli Saslow is a Pulitzer-winning feature writer for the Washington Post. His new book is Rising Out of Hatred: The Awakening of a Former White Nationalist.\n\n\u201cIf I'm writing about somebody once for 5,000 words in the Washington Post \u2014\xa0someone who's addicted to drugs, say \u2014 I am choosing in the public eye where their story ends. Like, that's it. People aren't going to know any more. That's where I'm going to leave them being written about. And of course, that is inherently artificial \u2014 nothing ends, their life is continuing. This is just where the narrative ends. I recognize the weight in ways that maybe I didn\u2019t before.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Outside the Box, Squarespace, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\n\n@elisaslow\n\n\nSaslow on Longform\n\n\nLongform Podcast #57: Eli Saslow\n\n\nSaslow's Washington Post archive\n\n\n[1:20] Rising Out of Hatred: The Awakening of a Former White Nationalist (Doubleday \u2022 2018)\n\n\n[18:00] \u2018It Was My Job, and I Didn\u2019t Find Him\u2019: Stoneman Douglas Resource Officer Remains Haunted by Massacre (Washington Post \u2022 Jun 2018)\n\n\n[25:55] The White Flight of Derek Black (Washington Post \u2022 Oct 2016)\n\n\n[33:20] Gun Violence\u2019s Distant Echo (Washington Post \u2022 May 2016)\n\n\n[48:15] \u2018You\u2019re One of Us Now' (Washington Post \u2022 Aug 2015)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
