"Keep It Real": An enthralling trip to the truth
"Keep It Real: Everything You Need to Know About Researching and Writing Creative Nonfiction"
edited by Lee Gutkind
Norton, 169 pp., $22.95
Creative nonfiction is a broad category of writing that uses "literary craft in presenting nonfiction," and while fabrication crosses the line — James Frey being only the most recent example — the genre allows considerable imaginative leeway and innovation.
In "Keep It Real," editor Lee Gutkind and a passel of experienced nonfiction writers have teamed up to write a stimulating and informative collection of short, digestible chapters on the marvels and pitfalls of creative nonfiction.
The genre has been around for a long time, but entered its modern heyday with the "New Journalism" of the 1960s and '70s — Norman Mailer, Truman Capote, Tom Wolfe and Hunter S. Thompson were the chief practitioners — and includes the current proliferation and popularity of memoirs. Straightforward nonfiction such as history, journalism and the standard essay evolved into writing that was more personal, subjective and experimental.
The organizational approach of "Keep It Real" — chapters on topics arranged alphabetically — seems haphazard at first, but the juxtaposition of practical advice and less-tangible aspects of the craft make for a pleasing eclecticism. A chapter called Compression is followed by Defamation and Libel; The Lyric Essay follows Legal Responsibilities of Publishers. There are fascinating disquisitions on the nature of memory and truth.
Although this is not a "how to" book, the authors define and describe the genre with specificity and good examples, generating plenty of options and approaches. One that caught my eye: the "lyric I" point of view and the use of the "fragmented braided essay form or the collage essay, where white space implies silence and meaning is created through oblique connections of images and metaphors rather than through a straightforward narrative story."
"Keep It Real" contains many more nuggets and demonstrates that nonfiction can be no less elastic or unfettered than fiction.

Report: Amy Winehouse Faces Emphysema Bout
Amy Winehouse [ tickets ] has been diagnosed with emphysema and could--within one month--land in a wheelchair with a permanent oxygen mask if she doesn't stop smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes, the Sunday Mirror reported. Doctors told the 24-year-old performer if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her, her father told the Mirror.Winehouse reportedly underwent an extensive series of tests when she was hospitalized last week after fainting at her London-area home. In addition to the emphysema, the tests revealed a lump in her chest. However, a scan reportedly has shown it is not cancerous and there are no traces of cancer in her blood.Winehouse also was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat, however it now has been regulated with medication.Mitch Winehouse said he hopes his daughter will be able to perform at the upcoming Glastonbury Festival because he believes she abstains and regulates her drug use when she has to do a show. Doctors reportedly said Winehouse is physically able to perform as long as she stays off drugs.

Us Newsman Tim Russert Dead
Revered U.S. news anchor and political pundit TIM RUSSERT has collapsed and died at his office in Washington, D.C.
The longtime Meet The Press host had just returned from a family vacation in Italy. Friend and colleague Tom Brokaw called Russert, 58, "one of the premiere political analysts and journalists of his time.... He'll be missed as he was loved, greatly."
As well as becoming a beloved face on U.S. political news and opinion shows, Russert, who began his career as an attorney, was also a bestselling author - his books Big Russ + Me and The Wisdom of Our Fathers both topped the New York Times book list.
Russert, the senior vice president of NBC News in America, also mediated the recent TV political debates between presidential wannabes Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John MCCain.
He died of a heart attack.

Foxboro Hot Tubs, Stop, Drop And Roll
With its faux-battered sleeve and go-go dancing logo you'd be right in thinking that Stop, Drop And Roll owes something to the 60s. As all fans now undoubtedly know, Foxboro Hot Tubs are, in reality, Green Day having a little retro fun on the side with their touring band along for the ride. 20-odd years on, the boys are as busy as ever, following a stamp-of-approval appearance in the Simpsons Movie in 2007. Much of this material was previously available free from the band's website but now, with an actual live tour in the offing, the album gets a proper physical release. Fans will go crazy, the rest of us may be a little less keen.
The problem with an album of pastiches is a question of authenticity. A comparable project would be the Dukes Of Stratosphear ; in reality XTC on a mission to recreate the best psychedelic sounds from their youth. Their two albums really did sound like they'd fallen through a hole in the space/time continuum. But Green Day, arch proponents of the three-minute punk pop outburst, while attempting various stylistic variations here, only really convince on the tracks that, well, sound like Green day (albeit Green day with the bass turned down). These include the title track, Mother Mary and Pieces Of Truth. It makes the whole album something of an oddity. Was it intended as a full-on recreation of an era, or are we just meant to take it as a GD album with many nods to the past? On either score it doesn't quite work. Stop, Drop And Roll is the 60s filtered through 80s punk.
Elsewhere the obvious nods are the Kinks (Alligator), The Doors (Red Tide), The Yardbirds (Dark Side Of Night) and a whole slew of garage punk (in the Nuggets sense of the word) bands like the Standells, Shadows Of Knight (Ruby Room, 27th Ave. Shuffle). It's the latter type of songs that best suit the band's dynamic: All blusterung chords, minimal guitar lead lines and a touch of wiggly organ thrown in for good measure. The writing is tight, the playing suitably spry and the hooks are plentiful. Certainly plentiful enough to keep the faithful happy for now. Yet, not unlike the Beastie Boys' recent foray into lacklustre psych funk, the majority of us will just wish that they'd get back to what they do best.
