Explores the theory of nonfictional narrative as implicated text, arguing that an implicated reading becomes all the more valuable and troubling if we explore some distinctions between nonfiction and fiction at the level on which the narrative interacts with historical experience and if we examine that interaction for its practices and ideology. Subjects include the nonfiction narrator in scripted and conscripted history, implicating the author in the narratives of Tom Wolfe and John Reed, and over the edge of genre in the case of Private O'Brien.
