Carolyn Forche, "The 'New' Literature"

Forche quotes Kapuscinski:

"As a writer you have experienced this event in your own skin, and it is your experience...that gives your story it's coherence"
(p 112)

I think this quotation really gets down to what creative nonfiction embodies that journalism cannot. The writer is always present--they have voices that are clearly subjective, even if they try to be as honest as possible.
