I write a lot of nonfiction as well as fiction and so the line between these two genres has always held a particular interest for me.

This topic actually reminds me of an anthology edited by Herta Feely entitled “Confessions: Fact or Fiction?” It’s an anthology that experiments with reader response and desire for literary works to be either fact or fiction. It is a compilation of short stories, some memoir and some fiction, from a variety of authors. However, the reader is not made aware of the genre of any of the stories until the end of the book.
