Focussing on true stories told by a first-person witness, Chavez, a journalist by training, makes an incisive contribution to our understanding and appreciation of this distinctive genre. She hones in on the writing style and motivation of eight celebrated literary-journalists, including Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Elena Poniatowska, to underscore the commitment and ethical choices made by these truth-seeking authors and, in some cases, the heavy price they had to pay. Makes for compelling reading. * Catherine Davies, Emerita Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies, Institute of Modern Languages Research, University of London, UK * A brave and illuminating study of Latin American documentary narrative and journalism as story-telling.

With an insider's experience of journalism as an institution and as textual practice and the rigor of a trained literary scholar, Liliana Chavez Diaz has written a field-defining book that will have immediate and long-lasting impact. * Anibal Gonzalez-Perez, Professor of Spanish and Director of Graduate Studies, Yale University, USA * Part literary criticism, part metajournalism, this book takes the reader on a fascinating journey through Latin America's documentative non/fiction of the past half century. Describing a generic hall of mirrors, where fiction and nonfiction endlessly reflect and absorb each other's image, Chavez Diaz interrogates the ethical pitfalls a literary journalist confronts as mediator between a disenfranchised informant and a narrative-hungry reader. * John Bak, Professor of English, University of Lorraine, France * A brave and illuminating study of Latin American documentary narrative and journalism as story-telling.
