Goosestep: Fictions & Docufictions is one of the late-career docufiction collections from Harold Jaffe. Docufiction, the short-prose form Jaffe wrote roughly thirty books in across four decades, takes news reports, court records, and other documentary source material and treats them with minimal, pointed intervention. Jaffe (1938 to 2024) edited Fiction International for forty-two years and was Professor Emeritus of Fiction at San Diego State. The press believed enough in the work to commission The Literary Terrorism of Harold Jaffe, a critical Festschrift edited by Eckhard Gerdes, while Jaffe was still alive. Show more
