"Literary Journalism" as an Epistemological Moving Object within a Larger "Quantum" Narrative

The discourse of narrative "literary journalism," among other names, has proved difficult to define and identify. This article suggests that this is due to the form being a kind of epistemological moving object and impossible to place within traditional classification schemes. Instead, the discourse might benefit from being examined as only approximate in nature and part of a larger "quantum" narrative. To that end, this article examines the form's epistemological fluidity, the form as an example of the "novel" or "narrative" of the "inconclusive present," the place of subjectivity in the form, and the form's relationship to the phenomenal world.
