Selected by Lee Gutkind, the \"godfather behind creative nonfiction,\" and the staff of \u003cem\u003eCreative Nonfiction\u003c\/em\u003e, these stories--ranging from immersion journalism to intensely personal essays--illustrate the genre's power and potential. Edwidge Danticat recalls her Uncle Moise's love of a certain four-letter word and finds in his abandonment of the word near the end of his life the true meaning of exile. In \"Literary Murder,\" Julianna Baggott traces her roots as a novelist to her family's \"strange, desperate (sometimes conniving and glorious) past\" and writes about her decision, in \u003cem\u003eThe Madam\u003c\/em\u003e, to kill off a character based on her grandfather. And Sean Rowe explains why, if you \u003cem\u003emust\u003c\/em\u003e get arrested, Selma, Alabama, is the place to do it. This exciting and expansive array of works and voices is sure to impress and delight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Gutkind\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393330257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393330250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
