Nigel Krauth’s Creative Writing and the Radical is itself a radical intervention in creative writing studies. Krauth gives an incisive account of the history of experimental fiction, and argues cogently for a multimodal, non-linear and technological approach to creative writing. This landmark book brings the creative writing classroom into the digital and multimedia era.
