Nonfiction the "fourth genre" (along with poetry, fiction, and
drama) is a literary field affecting bestseller lists, writing
programs, writers' workshops, and conferences on the study of
creative writing, composition/rhetoric, and literature. It is often
labeled and/or limited as "creative" or "literary" nonfiction and
subdivided into essay, memoir, literary journalism, personal
cultural criticism, and narratives of nature and travel. A vital
and growing form, nonfiction has, until now, needed a sustained
discussion about its poetics both the theory and the craft of this
genre. The Nonfictionist's Guide offers a lively exploration of the
elements of contemporary nonfiction and suggests imaginative
approaches to writing it. Each chapter on a vital aspect of
contemporary nonfiction concludes with a separate section of
relevant "notes for nonfictionists." Beginning with a new
definition of nonfiction and explanation of the nonfiction motive,
Robert Root discusses the use of experimental forms, the effects of
present and past tense and experiential and reflective voices, and
the issue of truth. He provides groundbreaking explorations of the
segmented essay and the role of spaces as an essential literary
device, guiding both readers and writers through the innovative and
stimulating ways we write nonfiction now."
