How are they different?
How are they alike?

This week we'll be continuing our path toward literary greatness as we explore a different non-fiction genre--literary non-fiction. As scholars, we've spent a great amount of time analyzing expository texts, but the spectrum of literature is never ending...that's why we're taking a break to focus on something fresh and narrative-like. This genre spans from blogs to letters to memoirs to biographies to speeches to podcasts to autobiographies to journals.

At the end of next week we'll be displaying them in our fabulous library, so keep your eyes peeled. Until then, here's a glimpse:
