Creative Nonfiction: The Final Issue: The Best of Thirty Years of Creative Nonfiction - Lee Gutkind

Detalii:

nThe very best writing from one of Americas most groundbreaking literary magazines.n n n nWhen Creative Nonfiction debuted in 1994, the literary genre it championed was largely the target of skepticism or downright ridicule. But at a time when few editors were interested in the personal essay, the magazine doggedly explored new ideas and fresh modes of expression, and over the next three decades, its contributors pioneered what would come to be known as the fourth genre.n n n nThe thirty-two essays collected here bring together some of the finest work Creative Nonfiction published over its seventy-eight issues. Read Pulitzer Prize-winner Charles Simics boyhood remembrances of the bombing of Belgrade, Carolyn Forches haunting, lyric catalog of her daily life as she faced down a cancer diagnosis, and John Edgar Widemans meditation on the photo of a murdered boy his same age--Emmett Till--and how the image haunted him forever. Here, youll find work by such luminaries as Adrienne Rich and John McPhee, but also essays from more contemporary voices like Brian Broome, Elizabeth Fortescue, and Anne McGrath.n n n nWith an introduction by Lee Gutkind, Creative Nonfictions founder and editor, this collection captures the evolution of a genre and the amazing work of the little magazine that helped make it all happen. n
