THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT is based on the stirring true story of John D'Agata's essay, What Happens There, about the Las Vegas suicide of teenager Levi Presley. Jim Fingal, assigned to fact check the piece, ignited a seven-year debate on the blurred lines of what passes for truth in literary nonfiction.
