Literary nonfiction is a written factual account that reads like fiction with an emphasis on story elements such as character, setting, and plot. The writer's style and voice dominates in the accounting, with prose taking a tale creatively beyond the flat and minimal reporting of events.
Due to the imagery and prose devices employed in literary nonfiction it is also sometimes referred to, more descriptively, as "creative nonfiction." The literary nonfiction format strives for the lyrical in prose, eschewing a barren "who, what, where, why, and how" news flash approach.
Examples of literary nonfiction are found in diaries, journals, memoirs, collected letters, essays, and autobiographies.
A factual account related in a straightforward manner, without literary styling, would present as a journalistic report. An author may choose to use the literary nonfiction format to layer irony, humor, humanity, or warmth into a factual story, and add a personal dimension to what would otherwise be a liturgy of cold, basic, and flaccid facts.
"The New Yorker" is rife with exemplars of the use of theliterary nonfiction genre. One excellent illustration of this style can be found in "The Story of an Eyewitness: The San Francisco Earthquake" by Jack London.
