Abstract

Creative non-fiction has become in the sense ‘the genre’; of South African writing: writing which makes its meanings at the unstable fault line of the literary and journalistic, the imaginative and the reportorial. Duncan Brown and Antjie Krog engage in a dialogue about the possibilities of the genre of creative non-fiction in South Africa, in particular for negotiating/narrating the complexities of post-apartheid identities. The discussion also covers some of the ethical issues around creative non-fiction, as well as the ways in which the expectations and conventions of the genre(s) may ‘position’ the author and reader.
