The Best Creative Nonfiction, Volume 2
This fresh collection of fact-based narratives—mined from blogs, alternative papers, literary journals, and other out-of-the-way publications—engages and delights with exceptional work about topics from birth to death and everything in between. Stefan Fatsis, author of World Freak, traces the history of his baseball glove; Donovan Hohn chases a spilled cargo-load of rubber ducks bobbing along the Pacific currents; and Pagan Kennedy explores the hidden life of the creator of The Joy of Sex. Purchase this book alone or as part of the Best Creative Nonfiction box set.
