Synopsis
Long before there were creative-writing workshops and degrees, how did aspiring writers learn to write? By reading the work of their predecessors and contemporaries, says Francine Prose. In Reading Like a Writer , Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and the tricks of the masters. She reads the work of the very best writersDostoyevsky, Flaubert, Kafka, Austen, Dickens, Woolf, Chekhovand discovers why their work has endured. She takes pleasure in the long and magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; she is deeply moved by the brilliant characterization in George Eliot's Middlemarch . She looks to John Le Carr for a lesson in how to advance plot through dialogue, to Flannery O'Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail, and to James Joyce and Katherine Mansfield for clever examples of how to employ gesture to create character. She cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which literature is crafted. Written with passion, humor, and wisdom, Reading Like a Writer will inspire readers to return to literature with a fresh eye and an eager heart., Long before there were creative writing workshops and degrees, how did aspiring writers learn to write?

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Good book for aspiring writers to learn from.

    I bought this book for a college fiction writing workshop. Each chapter presented different aspects of writing (narration, paragraphs, character, sentences) in a close-reading format. The author used many well-known (and maybe lesser known) stories/books to show what the writers did to make it interesting, good/bad, or otherwise. The book was easy to read and understand and gave some good ideas to use in my own writing. At times the book was long-winded and I often just wanted the chapter to be done with because I already understood what she was talking about. Also, the author almost seemed like she was trying to promote certain books over others, and often talked in depth about books that I was not familiar with. All in all, this was a good book for learning writing techniques.
