Literary Journalism Goes Inside Prison: Just Sentences opens up a
new exploration of literary journalism – immersive, long-form
journalism so beautifully written that it can stand as literature
– in the first anthology to examine literary journalism and
prison. In this book, a wide range of compelling subjects are
considered. These include Nelson Mandela and other prisoners of
apartheid; the made-in-prison podcast Ear Hustle; women’s
experiences of life behind bars; Behrouz Boochani’s 2018
bestseller No Friend but the Mountains; George Orwell’s artful
writing on incarceration; Pete Earley’s immersion into the
largest prison in the United States, The Hot House; Arthur Koestler
and the Spanish Civil War; Ted Conover’s year as a prison guard
in Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing and (most originally) Bruce
Springsteen’s execution narrative Nebraska. This volume will
benefit anyone who writes, studies or teaches any form of narrative
nonfiction. Eleven international scholars articulate what makes the
work they are analysing so exceptional. At the same time, they
offer insights on a diverse range of vital topics. These include
journalism ethics, journalism and trauma, media history, cultural
studies, criminology and social justice.
