How negotiable is a fact in nonfiction? In 2003, an essay by John D'Agata was rejected by the magazine that commissioned it due to factual inaccuracies. That essay--which eventually became the foundation of D'Agata's critically acclaimed About a Mountain--was accepted by another magazine, The Believer, but not before they handed it to their own fact-checker, Jim Fingal. What resulted from that assignment was seven years of arguments, negotiations, and revisions as D'Agata and Fingal struggled to navigate the boundaries of literary nonfiction. This book reproduces D'Agata's essay, along with D'Agata and Fingal's extensive correspondence. What emerges is a brilliant and eye-opening meditation on the relationship between "truth" and "accuracy" and a penetrating conversation about whether it is appropriate for a writer to substitute one for the other.

可以說是一本挺 one of the kind 的書。我翻瞭開頭和結尾，沒有看完，估計也不會去看完瞭。關於此書成書過程可以查閱美國 Amazon 上的讀者 review。總而言之，從本書內容到本書成書經過，都是那一句：假作真時真亦假，無為有處有還無。

评分1. 請不要和一個處女座較真 2.論fiction和nonfiction的區彆 3.請通讀全文以後再開始批注，以免各種打臉。
