This study explores contemporary American nonfiction’s relationship to the twentieth century journalistic phenomenon of muckraking and to the more recent New New Journalism through a discussion of the acclaimed American novelist Nicholson Baker’s selected works of nonfiction. Baker’s nonfiction demonstrates serious and in-depth research, and in his refined, innovative treatment, investigative writing yields a narrative that is at once storytelling and ethical reflection as well as an expression of serious social, cultural, and political problems. This study contends that Baker inherits a commitment to the artistry of journalistic investigation and that he redefines the art of nonfiction through his subjective and ethical journalism that is conveyed through a refreshing literary reportage
