It examines a range of different nonfiction forms ? including the personal essay and memoir ? and ethical questions that arise in relation to them, such as truth claims, the confessional mode, counter-narratives. Drawing on the ideas of Bakhtin, Nietzsche and Foucault; examples from creative non-fiction writers such as Strayed and Knausgaard; and the founding principles of the originators of the genre, Seneca, Augustine and Montaigne, Jensen argues that a limited conception of nonfiction leads to a limited view of its ethics. Writing about the truth in an authentic way is more important than ever before ? and essential to this is the creation of the ethical subject. George H. Jensen is Professor Emeritus with the Department of Rhetoric and Writing at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, USA. His recent books include Some of the Words Are Theirs: A Memoir of an Alcoholic Family (2000), Storytelling in Alcoholics Anonymous: A Rhetorical Analysis (2000), and Identities Across Texts (2002). 606 $aCreative nonfiction 606 $aCreative writing 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStyle 606 $aRhetoric 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aPoststructuralism 606 $aNon-Fiction Literature 606 $aCreative Writing 606 $aRhetorics 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aPoststructuralism 615 0$aCreative nonfiction. 615 0$aCreative writing. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStyle. 615 0$aRhetoric. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPoststructuralism. 615 14$aNon-Fiction Literature. 615 24$aCreative Writing. 615 24$aRhetorics. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aPoststructuralism. 676 $a808.02 700 $aJensen$b George H.$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910760275103321 997 $aUNINA
