The Truth That Story Carries: Indigenous Fiction and the Limits of Journalism

What truths can fiction reach that journalism cannot? Drawing on his work as a novelist and journalist, Kyle Edwards explores how the novel can reveal historical, emotional, and communal truths that exceed the evidentiary demands of reportage. While journalism prioritizes verifiable fact, Indigenous fiction carries truths shaped by memory, kinship, and lived experience—truths that resist the limits of the journalistic record.
