Europe, like any continent, is no stranger to war. Multiple conflicts have erupted in and around the land mass for thousands of years, including many of the most important in world history. With so many stories to tell, not all of them are going to have the priviledge of making it to the silver screen. Fortunately, many European filmmakers took the reins and opted to tell some pretty powerful stories with their movies.

Stephen King Called This Classic Scene the Scariest Moment in Horror History

The cover of Julie Myerson’s newest release seems to luxuriate in its contradictions. The title Nonfiction, rendered in a jumbo font, dominates the top margin while the only slightly smaller A Novel anchors the bottom. The book, first published in the UK in 2022 and released to American audiences in January of this year by Tin House, is shelved with fiction as per the publisher’s Library of Congress Cataloging data, and indeed the front matter includes a short statement that attests to the work’s fictionality. And yet that title demands speculation—as does the way the novel’s circumstances so closely mimic territory Myerson covered in her 2009 memoir The Lost Child. That book documented the author’s experience parenting her son as he suffered from drug addiction; this one follows a fictional mother as she parents an addict daughter. Writers like Jo Ann Beard, Amy Hempel, and Sheila Heti have long challenged the boundaries between fiction and nonfiction with their work. It is, after all, a brave new nonbinary world, and narrative has as much to gain from spectrums as the rest of us. It’s also fair to say that there’s nothing more tantalizing to readers than a whiff of truth.
