We have dubbed Hinterland Issue 6 our ‘non-fiction fiction special’, in which we explore the curious space where fiction and non-fiction intersect and interact. To that end Heather Martin (The Reacher Guy) recalls how she came to write the biography of Lee Child, author of the Jack Reacher series; Nick Bradley (The Cat and The City) shares some of the photographs taken on his commute in Tokyo, an experience later tapped into for his debut novel; Ashley Hickson-Lovence (The 392) tells the true story of how Ruel Fox (nearly) led Norwich City to football greatness; we explore Tash Aw’s literary archive; and share a conversation with Helen Smith (The Uncommon Reader) about renowned editor Edward Garnett, all alongside a stand-out selection of reportage, memoir, essay and flash non-fiction.

Also featuring writing by Peter Bethanis, Susan Karen Burton, Alice Jolly, Yin F Lim, Meg Freer, Matthew Mead, Nathan Munday, Tom Price, Sahanika Ratnayake and Alexander Williamson.
