Couture, Barbara
Journal of Advanced Composition, v13 n1 p111-34 Win 1993
Argues against the relativist arguments of Jasper Neel and Herrnstein Smith which assert that truth and writing are incompatible. Offers an introduction to their major arguments, and critiques the positions they share. Reveals that their vision of writing and truth is bolstered by three questionable premises about the nature of truth in human experience. (PRA)
