Literary Journalism : a Reader (01 Edition)by Jean Chance
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:This first edition reader introduces students to 26 of our greatest literary journalists, from Ernie Pyle to Hunter S. Thompson. It is the most current and complete anthology of the best of literary journalism. Book News Annotation:Written in part to pay tribute to the literary skills of the authors,
as well as to display examples of good writing for new journalists,
this volume compiles essays written by some of the foremost
journalists of the 20th century. Beginning with two articles on
WWII and ending with an essay on the contemporary suicide of a
teenager, these examples of literary journalism cover a broad
spectrum of American life in the last 60 years. Lacks index,
although this does not detract significantly, due to the nature of
the content.
