5.0 out of 5 stars Best collection of nonfiction I ever read--inspiring., 4 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: In Short: A Collection of Brief Creative Non Fiction (Hardcover)
I could not put this book down. An aspiring writer, it filled me with fire to get back to writing in my journal--noting details of the day's people and events with new passion and belief in my own observations. So many of the pieces in the book are wondrous, but I especially liked INTO THE STORM by Jerry Ellis which is from his book, WALKING THE TRAIL, about his 900 mile walk along the Cherokee Trail of Tears.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Any Doctor's Office or Bathroom Stand, 28 Oct 1997
By A Customer
This is a sharp collection of creative non-fiction, each piece in the book could stand alone as a powerful piece of writing--and the collection of works define (in a collaborative sense) the very essence of the direction that this "new" branch of literature is taking. From heartwarming introspection to horrifying accounts of war, this book travels the spectrum of human emotion with short, deeply personal glimpses.
