where the real is

As an addendum to--and further data to fuel--our discussion about "where the real is," and what its relation is to writing/representing, and what the relation of all of the above is to genre, see both A Family Tree of Literary Fakers and Esquire Publishes a Diary That Isn't, which risks "sacrificing the "biggest strengths from each of the genres...losing the veracity of journalism, and...the imaginative license of fiction...ending up with something that is neither true nor interesting.”
