205. The Best Creative Nonfiction, Vol. 1, edited by Lee Gutkind
The key word is “creative” here. I’d love to pass on a few of these pieces to those who find nonfiction to be boring. No boring here. The styles are all over the place, from authors who appear to sit down quietly at their desks to those authors who seem to be scribbling on bathroom walls.

This is a book that does have some solid creative nonfiction selections, as well as a demonstration of varied narrative styles within the creative nonfiction (persona) essay. But as always, the word “best” is so unfortunate, and unfortunately overdone.
Give me some Montaigne before entitling any creative nonfiction anthology “best.”
