Since the term "creative nonfiction" gained widespread popularity, memoirists, journalists, essayists, and fiction writers have been engaged in a heated debate over the boundaries between fact and fiction. An early and influential work on the form of creative nonfiction, Bending Genre, poses a thought-provoking question: what happens when we push the line between genres? The second edition of this book, which doubles the content of the first edition, includes 23 new essays that delve deeper into hybridity, structure, unconventionality, and resistance in creative nonfiction. Written for writers and students of creative writing, this collection brings together perspectives from renowned writers in the field, including Michael Martone, Brenda Miller, Ander Monson, David Shields, Kazim Ali, Catina Bacote, Ira Sukrungruang, Ingrid Horrocks, Elena Passarello, and Aviya Kushner. Each writer's innovative essay explores our understanding of genre and investigates how creative nonfiction is shaped. Like creative nonfiction itself, Bending Genre is a thrilling hybrid that breaks new ground.
The second edition of this book offers several exciting features:
- An updated introduction to the new edition
