In this collection, authors were challenged to tell their own true story, and tell it in one of three ways. Three paragraphs, three haiku, or three photographs. These artfully crafted "stories," by writers at the cusp of recognition and fame, combine narrative nonfiction and flash fiction to create a new genre: flash nonfiction. Written with panache and power, the stories illustrate the genre's potential. Intelligent, accessible, and often poignant, this exciting array of voices is sure to impress and delight.
