Yet this form has long commanded a key position in the literary canon, as John Russell now reveals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRussell identifies eleven major works not usually thought of as nonfiction novels, such as Isak Dinesen's \u003ci\u003eOut of Africa\u003c\/i\u003e and E. E. Cummings's \u003ci\u003eThe Enormous Room\u003c\/i\u003e, to create a new definition of the genre. He shows that journalistic writing is characterized by a reporter's proprietary stance, which undermines reciprocity with subjects, while true nonfiction novels feature greater reciprocity and also employ such techniques as circular narrative and bricolage.\u003ci\u003eReciprocities in the Nonfiction Novel\u003c\/i\u003e contributes to ongoing explorations of literary forms and offers wise commentary on how writing about real life can become art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Russell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820322024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820322025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.27w x 0.88d","brand":"John Russell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059864989951,"sku":"9780820322025","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd4b1eb3-14d7-408c-b5d6-b2f16f743964.jpg?v=1685060771","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reciprocities-in-the-nonfiction-novel-john-russell-9780820322025","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
