Style and Story: Literary Methods for Writing Nonfiction

by Stephen J Pyne and Stephen J. Pyne

Rule 2: You can't leave out known stuff that affects our understanding. Follow these rules, and you are writing nonfiction. Writing for different audiences and genres will require further guidelines. But all readers expect that style and story (or more broadly, theme) will complement one another.
