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.","brand":"University of Georgia Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614465966231,"sku":"9780820322025","price":5325.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780820322025.webp?v=1775093926","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/reciprocities-in-the-nonfiction-novel-9780820322025","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
