“The beauty of reality-based art—art underwritten by reality hunger—is that it’s perfectly situated between life itself and […] ‘life as art.’” -David Shields. Nonfiction is the only genre of writing defined by what it is not. It isn't pure invention as fiction is, but that leaves open the possibility that nonfiction can encompass everything-that-is-not-fiction. Creative nonfiction can be lyrical, narrative, topical, polemical, critical, historical, and everything in between. Nonfiction-writers Bailey Gaylin Moore and Kendra Green participate in a conversation about representing reality in this capacious literary genre.
