Opis

From the Man Booker Prize-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Lincoln in the Bardo, a literary masterclass on how to become both a better writer and reader, on what makes great stories work, and what they can tell us about how to live

Recenzje

A wonderful book . This book is a delight . I love the warmth with which he writes about this teaching, and agree wholeheartedly . All this makes Saunders's book very different from just another "how to" creative writing manual, or just another critical essay . One of the pleasures of this book is feeling his own thinking move backwards and forwards, between the writer dissecting practice and the reader entering in through the spell of the words, to dwell inside the story Tessa Hadley Guardian
