One day, about a year ago, I visited the grave of Marceline Baldwin Jones, the wife of Jim Jones, in the Earlham Cemetery, and then I wrote an essay about Marceline and the questions that arise when I think about her. That essay, “Marceline Wanted a Bigger Adventure,” is now issue 26 of True Story, the adorable once monthly, zine-style offspring of Creative Nonfiction. You can read an excerpt, or purchase the whole essay here. I made a Spotify playlist to accompany the essay, too. (I think it’s a pretty great mix. )
