Gutkind, who has been dubbed “the godfather of creative non-fiction” by Vanity Fair, has performed as a clown for Ringling Brothers, scrubbed in with heart transplant surgeons, traveled with a crew of baseball umpires, and seen the U.S. on a motorcycle — all as research for his more than a dozen books, and numerous profiles and essays. In Jerusalem, he says, “there are stories everywhere.” He was in Israel this month to teach a writing seminar hosted by Bar-Ilan University’s Shaindy Rudoff graduate program in creative writing.
