The Shell Game

Writers Play with Borrowed Forms

Herausgeber: Adrian, Kim

Beschreibung

Within the recent explosion of creative nonfiction, a new type of form is quietly emerging, what Brenda Miller calls ""hermit crab essays"". The Shell Game is an anthology of these intriguing essays that borrow their structures from ordinary, everyday sources: a recipe, a crossword puzzle, a Craig's List ad.
