Editors’ Summary: This paper presents an insightful approach of using creative writing/literature (fictional depictions) in collaboration with real life. The topic studied here is public housing; the researchers compiled novels focusing on public housing (usually in cities) with social science analysis of current public housing residents. Some important references for readers are how the authors treat creative writing as mapping and how they do not isolate their research in the fictional world by seeking how the real and fictional worlds can influence each other.
