Jeannette Walls’ non-fiction spans the gossip industry and her own family history. Dish (2000) offers an insider’s view of celebrity journalism from someone who worked in the field for years. The Glass Castle (2005) turned the lens inward, telling the story of her own chaotic upbringing with unflinching honesty.
Together, the two books show different sides of Walls as a writer: the professional observer of public spectacle and the private person who had her own difficult story to tell.
