I wrote an essay on non-fiction and truth for The Author, in which I talk about Capote, Graves and Durrell before concluding that writers just need to stop being full of shit.
Pinches of Salt: Richard Smyth explores fictions within non-fiction. And of course there is a constant stream of books like The Salt Path: books on travel, nature, place, books about spiritual journeys, high emotion, the relentless exalted dramatisation of the self. Books in this genre might strike some as just another sort of bullshit, confected for profit; they are just not the sort that will ever be the subject of allegations in a national newspaper.
