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. This debate over ethics, however, has sidelined important questions of literary form. Bending Genre does not ask where the boundaries between genres should be drawn, but what happens when you push the line. Written for writers and students of creative writing, this collection brings together perspectives from today's leading writers of creative nonfiction, including Michael Martone, Brenda Miller, Ander Monson, and David Shields. 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. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I suppose much of the book is about "unnatural history" and if upon viewing the cover and the title "Bending Genre" your gut feeling is "gender bending" you aren't far off.
The first essay is interesting because it demonstrates how etymologically the words gene, genre and gender are related. Academic essays are usually 10 - 12 pages long, but most essays in this collection max out at four or five pages. Much of it belongs to "Queer studies" and the content ranges from infantile and simple to contrived and incomprehensible.
