Journalists and novelists responded to the pervasive social changes
of the 1960s in America with a variety of experiments in
nonfiction. Those who have praised the vitality of the new
journalism have seen it as a fusion of the journalist's passion for
detail and the novelist's moral vision. Hollowell presents a
critically sharp portrait of what the new journalists and novelists
are doing and why. The author concludes that future writing will
further obscure the difference between fact and fiction.
