Lady, EVOLVED 
« Creative nonfiction (also known as literary nonfiction or narrative nonfiction or literary journalism or verfabula) is a genre of writing that uses literary styles and techniques to create factually accurate narratives. Creative nonfiction contrasts with other nonfiction, such as academic or technical writing or journalism, which are also rooted in accurate fact though not written to entertain based on prose style. »
thank god this distinction doesn't exist in fiction; i would throw a fit if someone claimed the goal of my writing is to “entertain”
@Lady there is a very silly translation of it to fiction wherein the goal of literary fiction specifically is interpreted as to entertain through prose style.
• implication that journalists and technical writers do not use “literary styles and techniques”: ????
• implication that the goal of “creative writing” is to “entertain based on prose style”: ??????
