Comments on: Non-Fiction Friday https://doingdeweydecimal.com/2014/01/24/non-fiction-friday-6/ Just another WordPress site Fri, 07 Mar 2014 02:59:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.1 By: DoingDewey https://doingdeweydecimal.com/2014/01/24/non-fiction-friday-6/#comment-7807 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 01:43:25 +0000 https://doingdeweydecimal.com/?p=5258#comment-7807 Thanks Sophie! I thought that article was particularly interesting too. I definitely think that a lot of the things good fiction needs are also the things I look for in non-fiction. Even though the events are factual, the author generally has to make the facts into a story with a gripping plot and relatable characters for me to enjoy their work. I hope you had a great weekend too :)

I still haven’t read any non-fiction graphic novels, but your review makes me want to give them a try :)

I liked that he pushed more for good and bad writing as the deciding “genre” rather than fiction and non-fiction works, but I think Aslan and Dyer are the minority in the reading world; most authors and readers can’t make the jump between fiction and non-fiction, and it would be interesting to see why that connection can be made for some people and not for others. (Maybe personal history/experience or personality are factors?)

As usual, thanks for sharing some great links, Katie! Have a nice rest of your weekend! :)
