The first time I discovered the creative and intellectual potential of the genre of nonfiction, it felt like a revelation. Here, finally, was a genre where I could draw on history, theory, science, art and my own life freely — where mixing all of these things together didn’t feel “didactic” or confusing. In fact, utilizing different fields of knowledge in my essays seemed to only enhance the personal truths that I was so painstakingly carving from the bones of my own aching past.

Tell me if you’ve heard this twist ending before. Something troubling is happening to the protagonist, causing them to question everyone around them. Maybe she seems to uncover a nefarious plot against her. Or maybe he meets a wild new person who makes him feel alive.
