Description

Encyclopedia Britannica defines the nonfiction novel as a “story of actual people and actual events told with the dramatic techniques of a novel.” Author Truman Capote, who wrote perhaps the first nonfiction novel—In Cold Blood (1965)—said once in a 1966 interview that the “first essential of the nonfiction novel” is that “there is a timeless quality about the cause and events,” meaning that the novel’s characters, events, and other literary qualities stand the test of time and are just as relevant to readers decades later as they are on the date in which the novel was published.

Consider Capote’s assertion and how it relates to "*Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard"

. Then write an essay (500 words) that defends, challenges, or qualifies the notion that "*Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard" exhibits this "timeless quality."

Support your argument with specific details from "*Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard" , and from your own reading, observation, or experience.
