Fact and Truth in CNF

There seems to be a fine line between fact and truth in creaative nonfiction. Facts are things that are real and really cannot be changed or disputed. “The desk is black” would pretty much qualify as a fact. Truth can be stretched, or twisted, to make a story much more interesting to the reader. It can also be changed based off of the memory of the writer. The author has to make the story interesting, and they might, therefore, add a little bit of details that might not have been there or details that may be exaggerated.
