The University of Iowa is a leading light in the writing world. In
addition to the Iowa Writers' Workshop for poets and fiction
writers, it houses the prestigious Nonfiction Writing Program
(NWP), which was the first full-time masters-granting program in
this genre in the United States. Over the past three decades the
NWP has produced some of the most influential nonfiction writers in
the country. I'll Tell You Mine is an extraordinary anthology, a
book rooted in Iowa's successful program that goes beyond mere
celebration to present some of the best nonfiction writing of the
past thirty years. Eighteen pieces produced by Iowa graduates
exemplify the development of both the program and the field of
nonfiction writing. Each is accompanied by commentary from the
author on a challenging issue presented by the story and the
writing process, including drafting, workshopping, revising, and
listening to (or sometimes ignoring) advice. The essays are put
into broader context by a prologue from Robert Atwan, founding
editor of the Best American Essays series, who details the rise of
nonfiction as a literary genre since the New Journalism of the
1960s. Creative nonfiction is the fastest-growing writing
concentration in the country, with more than one hundred and fifty
programs in the United States. I'll Tell You Mine shows why Iowa's
leads the way. Its insider's view of the Iowa program experience
and its wealth of groundbreaking nonfiction writing will entertain
readers and inspire writers of all kinds.
