  3. The Lifespan of a Fact


This recent Broadway smash hit is inspired by John D'Agata's and Jim Fingal's debate-style book of the same name and brings to life the endless arguments of its original authors. Fingal is a fresh out of Harvard fact checker for a prominent but sinking New York magazine. D'Agata is a talented writer with a transcendent essay about the suicide of a teenage boy - an essay that could save the magazine from collapse. When Fingal is assigned to fact-check D'Agata's essay, the two come head to head in a hysterical yet gripping ethical dispute over facts versus truth.
