Telling the Truth by Craig Von Buseck

TELL ME A STORY!

It's the universal plea of children and adults-from ancient times to the present day. We want to be entertained and transported to other places and other worlds.

IS THIS DESIRE FOR STORY MERELY A MEANS OF ESCAPE, OR IS THERE SOMETHING MORE?

SOMETHING DEEPER THAT GOES TO THE CORE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN?

Dr. Craig von Buseck explores emerging research to help the aspiring writer understand the power of story - and then harness this knowledge in the writing of dynamic narrative nonfiction and memoir. Building on the theories of storytelling, von Buseck provides practical instruction on the art and craft of telling true stories as narratives. Known as narrative nonfiction, or the new journalism, this popular and burgeoning genre has dominated best seller lists for the last half century.

This book also examines the exciting genre of personal memoir - exposing both the challenges and opportunities of true life story.
