Reviews

“The ‘fist fight’ seems an apt metaphor to describe Lee Gutkind’s resolute defense of creative nonfiction—in all its forms. His characteristic thoughtful conviction keeps it new and exciting for the rest of us.”—Yvette Benavides, host of Texas Public Radio’s Book Public “The Fine Art of Literary Fist-Fighting offers an insightful overview of the recent history of creative nonfiction and the struggles that early practitioners faced in legitimizing the genre. This is a must-read for all writers.”—Jennifer Anderson, Lewis-Clark State College “Lee Gutkind is not only a master of creative nonfiction. He’s also a crucial catalyst who has meaningfully advanced the field. This honest, engagingly written book tells how it all happened and why creative nonfiction is so necessary.”—Steven Beschloss, director of the Narrative Storytelling Initiative and author of The Gunman and His Mother
