Abstract
This study tackles the problematic and widely-controversial theme of the relation between art and reality. It treads the land of postwar American fiction, and explores the world of nonfiction novel; the genre which has become a popular form of writing during the decade of the sixties.
The year 1965 has witnessed the emergence of a new type of documentary novel, which is “New Journalism’’. New Journalism is a form of writing which attempts to obtain a view of events from inside the source, instead of relying on the standard information-gathering approach. It mixes fact and fiction.
In 1960s and 1970s, America has witnessed so many social and political disorders such as: racial crises, the assassination of Kennedy and youth protests against all forms of inequality and business corruption, beside the revelation of the Watergate Scandal. The “New Journalism’’ has its own techniques, which enable novelists, of that genre, of portraying the historical setting and events very closely. One of these techniques is “the Camera Eye’’. This study focuses on Norman Mailer and Truman Capote and their nonfiction novels of 1960s and 1970s.
