The Beholder's Eye A Collection of America's Finest Personal Journalism

The Beholder's Eye is an indispensable collection of America's best contemporary first-person journalism selected by Walt Harrington, the award-winning former Washington Post reporter and author of two highly acclaimed works of personal nonfiction. Many great journalists have, at one time or another, been characters in their own stories-people with personalities that shaped what they saw and reported, who were touched and changed by the experiences about which they wrote, and who borrowed the storytelling techniques of fiction.

Walt Harrington teaches literary journalism at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
