Here's a link to a story on NPR about a book that deals with an author writing "dramatized" non-fiction: 'Lifespan Of A Fact': Truth And Consequences
It's interesting that the book itself employs this method as much of the conversations between an author and fact-checker are dramatized. It seems the justification for this truth-bending is to make sure the emotional impact is delivered. Feelings over fact, I guess.
I'd just been thinking of how UFO/Paranormal books also take such liberties. Prime examples are the way Gray Barker and John Keel had handled the Mothman / Silver Bridge story. How far can you stretch the truth without breaking it?
