Non-fiction unit

We started our non-fiction unit with an interview with the Texas writer Cormac McCarthy. You will most likely know him as the author of the book on which the movie "No Country for Old Men" was based. You can link to the "New York Times" newspaper interview here:

Our next non-fiction work is from the book Lost Moon by astronauts Jim Lovell and Jeffry Kluger talking about the Apollo 13 mission.
We continue with an excerpt from The Diary of Anne Frank, a letter written from jail by Nelson Mandela and a study of the truth behind a Mexican folk song.
