This is how you write good narrative non-fiction.
Not over-inflated and at the same time empty (emotionally) like "Rebel of Rangoon" so-called novel by one-time Rangoon bureau chief--not from Washington Post.
Non-fiction should be neither too dry--nor too pumped up like a bodice buster or fake breasts.
It should still reach the heart. Your heart --for both reader and writer.
