In this volume, Doug Underwood asks whether much of what is now called literary journalism is, in fact, 'literary,' and whether it should rank with the great novels by such journalist-literary figures as Twain, Cather, and Hemingway, who believed that fiction was the better place for a realistic writer to express the important truths of life.

Rezensionen
"Underwood's impressive study is a testament to the evolution of scholarship in artistic nonfiction . . . [He] deftly addresses several themes that are essential to ongoing conversations about American literature and literary journalism . . . [The book] embodies meticulous documentation, and challenges readers to reconsider the impact of the ongoing dance that occurs even now along the boundary between journalism and fiction." - American Journalist

"Doug Underwood offers a fresh, accessible, and far-reaching investigation of the tensions between fact and fiction, reportage and novel-writing. In its exploration of how journalist - both in and out of the newsroom - engaged a 'story-telling impulse' in their quest for meaningful prose, The Undeclared War Between Journalism and Fiction stands as an important contribution to the interconnected studies of journalistic and literary histories." - Karen Roggenkamp, Associate Professor of English, Texas A&M University-Commerce, USA
