J. D'Agata, J. Fingal, "The Lifespan of a Fact" (2012)
Fascinating reading. An 'essayist' more than willing to take liberties with facts about the context of a teenager's suicide in Las Vegas, and a fact-checker hired to review his work battle over the nature of truth-telling and journalistic practice.
Even the layout of this book is intriguing, which allows the reader to follow the original piece, as submitted, with the conversations between the fact-checker, author, and editor.
