Politics and media are constantly dealing with the shifting definitions of facts, truth, reality, and fiction. Yet this is something the field of documentary art has been addressing for much longer. The contributions in this volume are from and about artists who explore the boundaries between fact and fiction by playing with the notion of the ?documentary?. The book draws from a wide range of documentary art practices, such as working with archival materials or scrutinising one?s own subjective stance as an artist. It observes how artists deploy the fine line between fact and fiction as a means to imagine versions of the future, and how it can still have an impact in the world of today.

Journalists and novelists responded to the pervasive social changes of the 1960s in America with a variety of experiments in nonfiction. Those who have praised the vitality of the new journalism have seen it as a fusion of the journalist's passion for detail and the novelist's moral vision. Hollowell presents a critically sharp portrait of what the new journalists and novelists are doing and why. The author concludes that future writing will further obscure the difference between fact and fiction. Originally published in 1977.

WINNER OF THE 2018 MONTANA BOOK AWARDChris La Tray's One-Sentence Journal is a collection of short poems and essays that describe his encounters with the wilderness of day-to-day life: In mountains, rivers, and forest paths in some moments, and gritty alleys and street corners in others. Deeply inspired by the communication shared between writers Ted Kooser and Jim Harrison in their classic book Braided Creek: A Conversation in Poetry (Copper Canyon Press, 2003), La Tray seeks a similar correspondence here, with anyone who cares to slow down and relax in his company.
