Abstract

I n our last installment, we celebrated the publication of two new anthologies of interest and value to the readers of Fourth Genre: Blurring the Boundaries, edited byB. J. Hollars, andMetawritings, edited by Jill Talbot. Here, I review two others that fit the same bill. It seems like an embarrassment of riches tohave somany like-mindedyet uniquebookspublished in the span of a little more than a year, and I hope this review will help you discern which of the lot you want to pick up first (before getting all the others, of course). The other two new books I’m referring to are Bending Genre: Essays on Creative Nonfiction, which is edited by Margot Singer and Nicole Walker, and Understanding the Essay, which is edited by Patricia Foster and Jeff Porter. Whereas Metawritings and Blurring the Boundaries were structured similarly, as volumes of new creative work accompanied by critical commentary by the authors, Understanding the Essay and Bending Genre are not.
