Customer Reviews

Great introduction to creative nonfiction

This anthology was my first experience to creative nonfiction, and I have to say it's a great one. Lots of fantastic, inspirational essays which demonstrate the breadth of creative nonfiction. I didn't love *all* of them, but certainly enough that I kept the book afterward instead of selling it back. I definitely recommend it.

Slow but beautiful

The book took a few more days than i expected to arrive, but it was in great shape, I couldn't have chosen a better used book if I had gone to a used book store myself! Thanks
