Summary:

A tireless and discerning advocate for contemporary practitioners of creative nonfiction, Ned Stuckey-French was at the centre of every national discussion about the genre. He greatly contributed to our scholarly understanding of the history of the essay and was working on his first essay collection when he died of cancer in 2019. That collection, One by One, The Stars, presents new, highly personal essays tracing Stuckey-Frenchs childhood in Indiana and a burgeoning interest, during adolescence, in politics and social justice to his life as a father, teacher, and writer.
