Dana Schwartz published two non-fiction books in consecutive years. Choose Your Own Disaster (2018) is a memoir with an unusual format: it is written in second person and structured so that readers can follow different paths through Schwartz’s twenties, mimicking the choose-your-own-adventure books she grew up reading. The tone is honest and self-deprecating, covering the kinds of mistakes and confusion that define early adulthood.

The White Man’s Guide to White Male Writers of the Western Canon (2019) takes a very different approach. It is a satirical illustrated guide that pokes fun at the literary establishment and its tendency to center a narrow set of voices. Together, these two books show the range of Schwartz’s non-fiction voice, from personal memoir to cultural commentary.
