520 Before there were workshops and degrees, how did aspiring
writers learn to write? By reading the work of their
predecessors and contemporaries, says author and teacher
Prose. Prose invites you on a guided tour of the tools and
the tricks of the masters. She reads the very best writers
and discovers why their work has endured. She takes
pleasure in the magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and
the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; she is moved
by the brilliant characterization in George Eliot's
Middlemarch. She looks to John Le Carré for 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.--From publisher description
