Ted Conover writes narrative non-fiction by entering institutions and communities that are usually difficult for outsiders to observe. Newjack recounts his year working as a prison officer at Sing Sing, while Coyotes follows undocumented migrants travelling and working in the United States.

Conover's prose is detailed, observational and first-person, combining scene-based storytelling with social analysis rather than treating subjects as abstract policy problems. His work fits literary journalism, prison writing, migration reportage and participatory non-fiction. Read more Less
