Creative nonfiction is the literary equivalent of jazz: itâs a rich mix of flavors, ideas, voices, and techniquessome newly invented, and others as old as writing itself. This collection of 20 gripping, beautifully-written nonfiction narratives is as diverse as the genre Creative Nonfiction magazine has helped popularize.
