How negotiable is a fact in nonfiction? In 2003, an essay by John D`Agata was rejected by the magazine that commissioned it due to factual inaccuracies. That essay-which eventually became the foundation of D`Agata`s critically acclaimed About a Mountain-was accepted by another magazine, The Believer, but not before they handed it to their own fact-checker, Jim Fingal. What resulted from that assignment was seven years of arguments, negotiations, and revisions as D`Agata and Fingal struggled to navigate the boundaries of literary nonfiction.
This book reproduces D`Agata`s essay, along with D`Agata and Fingal`s extensive correspondence. What emerges is a brilliant and eye-opening meditation on the relationship between "truth" and "accuracy" and a penetrating conversation about whether it is appropriate for a writer to substitute one for the other.
