River Teeth: A Journal of Nonfiction Narrative

River Teeth: A Journal of Nonfiction Narrative

Laurie Rachkus Uttich
0/5 ( ratings)
UPDATE: Four essays from this issue of River Teeth are listed as notable essays in Best American Essays 2013: Kathleen Blackburn, Andre Dubus III, Robert Vivian, and Jerald Walker each received notable essay mentions.

This issue features work by Robert Atwan, Kathleen Blackburn, Andre Dubus III, Richard Gilbert, Lee Martin, Karen McElmurray, C.D. Mitchell, Laurie Rachkus Uttich, Eli Sanders, Joshua Wolf Shenk, Leslie Stainton, Robert Vivian, and Jerald Walker.

From the Editor's Notes: "...The signature obsession of River Teeth during our fourteen years is that we explore the deepest implications of writing and reading nonfiction. We've said it before: because nonfiction purports to capture the lives of real people and events, it pits the characters and narrators who live inside the text against those same characters and actual authors who cast shadows in the outside world. What exactly is at stake when an author sets out to capture the life of a real person on the page? How do such narratives affect privacy and identity? Even if the narrative is scrupulously true, how do both parties face the recognition that secrets will be told and lives will be altered? How does a text change when its characters inhabit the real world or when literary death or pain opens the flesh of actual wounds? River Teeth has consistently explored these obsessions across a range of memoir, literary journalism, and the essay. And as it happens, this issue features sterling examples of each form, highlighted by what may be the best single essay ever written about the pain and promise of writing real life, Andre Dubus III’s ‘Writing and Publishing a Memoir: What in the Hell Have I Done?’…"
