Telling a story is a way to make something interesting. To channel events through your consciousness and filter them to the world through your unique perspective. Not every story needs to be fiction, sometimes you need to have been there and tell it like it is, or just shake the truth from yourself and put it down on a page. It takes a different set of skills, a different kind of courage to put the bare truth down on the pages of a book. This category is rewarding the authors who will have exposed a truth, a situation or a subject with the most courage and accuracy. The nominees are...
David Foster Wallace for This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered On A Significant Occasion, About Living A Compassionate Life
Chuck Klosterman for Killing Yourself To Love: 85% Of A True Story
Ernest Hemingway for A Moveable Feast
James Wood for How Fiction Works
