A history of American literary journalism

Description:

This book reveals the unfolding of an important but critically neglected genre. Analyzing the rift between literature and journalism, Hartsock demonstrates the ways in which literary journalism attempts to narrow the gulf between subject and object. His scholarship is wide and deep, his prose style highly readable, his conclusions carefully argued. This work will help literary journalism overcome the marginalization from which it has long suffered.
