"What defines the boundary between fact and fabrication, fiction and nonfiction, literature and journalism? Latin American Documentary Narrative s unpacks the precarious testimonial relationship between author and subject, where the literary journalist, rather than the subject being interviewed, can become the hero of a narrative in its recording and retelling. Latin American Documentary Narratives covers a variety of nonfiction genres from the 1950s to the 2000s that address topics including social protests, dictatorships, natural disasters, crime and migration in Latin America. This book analyzes - and includes an appendix of interviews with - authors who have not previously been critically read together, from the early and emblematic works of Gabriel García Mr̀quez and Elena Poniatowska to more recent authors, such as Leila Guerriero and Santiago Roncagliolo, who are currently reshaping media and audiences in Latin America. In a world overwhelmed by data production and marked by violent acts against those considered 'others', Liliana Chávez Díaz argues that storytelling plays an essential role in communication among individuals, classes and cultures."--

Literary journalism is a rich field of study that has played an important role in the creation of the English and American literary canons. In this original and engaging study, Doug Underwood focuses on the many notable journalists-turned-novelists found at the margins of fact and fiction since the early eighteenth century, when the novel and the commercial periodical began to emerge as powerful cultural forces. Writers from both sides of the Atlantic are discussed, from Daniel Defoe to Charles Dickens, and from Mark Twain to Joan Didion. Underwood shows how many literary reputations are built on journalistic foundations of research and reporting, and how this impacts on questions of realism and authenticity throughout the work of many canonical authors. This book will be of great interest to researchers and students of British and American literature.

Kniha „Podoby české literární reportáže“ představuje pokus o zmapování žánru české reportáže. V úvodní části autor aplikuje literárněvědné metody vytvořené pro analýzu fabulované prózy na reportáž a zkoumá, zda a nakolik reportáž v těchto kritériích obstojí. Práce se v dílčích sondách zaměřuje na klíčové osobnosti a fenomény ve vývoji česky psané reportáže od antecedence žánru v 19. století přes vrcholný rozkvět ve třicátých a na začátku čtyřicátých let 20. století až do let osmdesátých. Na těchto příkladech se snaží přiblížit inspirující a omezující vlivy literárního a zejména společenského vývoje, které na reportáž v českých zemích působily. Těžiště práce spočívá ve snaze ukázat, jak jednotlivé tvůrčí osobnosti, ve svém autorském typu velmi rozdílné, na rozvoj i omezování možností reportáže svým dílem reagovaly. Důraz je přitom položen na postižení pestrosti a různorodosti tvárných postupů a podob, jež v důsledku toho česká reportáž vytvořila.

Edna St. Vincent Millay, Dorothy Parker, Anita Loos, Lois Long, Jessie Fauset, Dawn Powell, Mary McCarthy, and others imagined New York as a place where they could claim professional status, define urban independence, and shrug off confining feminine roles. Their fiction raised questions about what it meant to be a woman in the public eye, how gender roles would change because men and women were working together, and how the growth of the magazine industry would affect women's relationships to their bodies and minds. Playing Smart celebrates their causes and careers and pays hom

"In the first decades of the twentieth century, famed Atlantic Monthly editor Ellery Sedgwick chose to publish a group of nontraditional writers he later referred to as "Faraway Women," working-class authors living in the western United States far from his base in Boston. Cathryn Halverson surveys these enormously popular Atlantic contributors, among them a young woman raised in Oregon lumber camps, homesteaders in Wyoming, Idaho, and Alberta, and a world traveler who called Los Angeles and Honolulu home. Faraway Women and the "Atlantic Monthly" examines gender and power as it charts an archival journey connecting the least remembered writers and readers of the time with one of its most renowned literary figures, Gertrude Stein. It shows how distant friends, patrons, publishers, and readers inspired, fostered, and consumed the innovative life narratives of these unlikely authors, and it also tracks their own strategies for seizing creative outlets and forging new protocols of public expression. Troubling binary categories of east and west, national and regional, and cosmopolitan and local, the book recasts the coordinates of early twentieth-century American literature"--
