Question

just help me out here--- we are tlaking books

Answer 1

Creative nonfiction is a form of journalism that uses literary techniques to tell what is essentially a nonfiction story. Hunter S. Thompson, Jack Kerouac, Truman Capote, P.J. O'Rourke and Norman Mailer are all examples. It's more often found in books, magazines and alternative weeklies than in newspapers.

Answer 2

Any nonfiction that is not creative, isn't worth reading. Creativity is the essence of art, and nonfiction is an art form.
