Ever since the term "creative nonfiction" first came into
widespread use, memoirists and journalists, essayists and fiction
writers have faced off over where the border between fact and
fiction lies. An early and influential book on questions of form in
creative nonfiction, Bending Genre asks not where the boundaries
between the genres should be drawn, but what happens when you push
the line. The expanded second edition doubles the first edition
with 23 new essays that broaden the exploration of hybridity,
structure, unconventionality, and resistance in creative
nonfiction, pushing the conversation forward in diverse and
exciting ways. Written for writers and students of creative
writing, this collection brings together perspectives from leading
writers of creative nonfiction, including Michael Martone, Brenda
Miller, Ander Monson, David Shields, Kazim Ali--and in the new
edition--Catina Bacote, Ira Sukrungruang, Ingrid Horrocks, Elena
Passarello, and Aviya Kushner. Each writer's innovative essay
probes our notions of genre and investigates how creative
nonfiction is shaped, modeling the forms of writing being
discussed. Like creative nonfiction itself, Bending Genre is an
exciting hybrid that breaks new ground. Features in the second
edition: -Updated introduction to the new edition -Expanded
sections on Hybrids, Structures, and "Unconventions" -A new section
on Resistances -50 essays in all
