Bookriot's 100 Must-Read Works of Genre-Bending Nonfiction - Page 2

"Each of these books combines two or more genres or bends the rules — or better yet the 'rules' — of an already-established form. You will see my biases in this list: it's very memoir- and essay-heavy, as those are the nonfiction forms I read most often. It's also heavy on the literary and philosophical and leans toward the experimental. As with all lists of this sort, it's possible to write an alternate, entirely different list that's equally interesting if not more so." - Rebecca Hussey
