Apex Predator: A Review of Devolution – A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre, by Max Brooks

The line between fiction and non-fiction is usually a obvious one in literature.  Unless the non-fiction in question is written as a literary story, the difference lies in the presentation and advertisement of the work.  Non-fiction can be presented as a memoir, journal, essay, selection of interviews, or more.  The books usually have very long, very descriptive titles.  Fiction, on the other hand, is something you immediately know when you see it.  At least it is now.  Once upon a time, the lines were much more blurred.  Books like Gulliver’s Travels or Utopia were believed to be true by some when they were published.  Nowadays, it can be popular to present fiction as non-fiction, as seen in the mockumentary style of film.  It is about presenting the material as realistically and believably as possible, no matter how absurd the material may be.
