A Town Without Time is a new book by Gay Talese. Talese is one of the “new journalists”. New journalism is reportage that uses fiction techniques to tell the story, and doesn’t insist on complete objectivity — in the sense that the write might be part of the story and reporting on it first hand.
Anyway, this is a great boook, full of interesting and wonderfully-written stories, and the publisher has made a copy available to win as a prize. Full details here:
