True Stories, Well Told: From the First 20 Years of Creative Nonfiction Magazine

This book has a wide variety of stories that are well written excerpts from a literary magazine. I enjoyed many of them, although some left me scratching my head trying to understand them. Overall, I think everyone will find something for them in this collection.

These assorted stories are as diverse as the backgrounds of the authors. Compiled by the team at Creative Non-Fiction (in my town of residence: Pittsburgh), the narratives range across a broad spectrum of memoir. Reading these authors is a good way to contemplate life--or the writing of your own memoir.

He stories are fun to read.
