The Fact Behind the Facts

As a budding journalist with his first front-page byline, Commentator Philip Gerard was understandably smug. 

The piece he'd written, on a young man who saved his girlfriend from a burning car, had won him recognition--professionally and locally. But, years later, when one local gives him an essential detail about the piece--one  Philip had missed--he starts to wonder about the fact behind the facts, and how to reach it.

Philip Gerard is the author of seven books, eleven documentary scripts, and numerous short stories and essays. He chairs the Department of Creative Writing at UNC Wilmington. For more information about Philip, please visit his website.
