The
Nonfiction Generation has a jones for reality. Television shows starring their neighbors. Bio-driven Hip Hop and Indie Rock. Documentaries with a conscience. News in heavy-rotation. Memoirs
living on the New York Times Best Seller List. The Daily Show.
What's missing
in this real world evolution is an international journal of literary nonfiction. A
serious journal where Nonfiction Generation writers transform their lives into
art. A place where craft counts. Art
is how we translate the unutterable into the language of saxophones. The common
breath that needs no interpreter. That connects the human family in the circle
of life.
The Truth About the Fact: A Journal of Literary Nonfiction is
that missing link.
The writers gathered here are witnesses. They testify about a world where fathers fall short but love their daughters fiercely. Where men in shackles righteously indict prison guards. A
world where Afghan women get beat because they love.
Every generation
has writers and artists who define an age and a spirit. The writers, the
witnesses, who will define the Nonfiction Generation will gather, testify and
keep it real
in the pages of The Truth About the Fact: A Journal of Literary Nonfiction. Believe
that. Check out some work from our previous issues and bear witness:
