Amitava Kumar's Every Day I Write the Book is for academic writers
what Annie Dillard's The Writing Life and Stephen King's On
Writing are for creative writers. Alongside Kumar's interviews with
an array of scholars whose distinct writing offers inspiring
examples for students and academics alike, the book's pages are
full of practical advice about everything from how to write
criticism to making use of a kitchen timer. Communication,
engagement, honesty: these are the aims and sources of good
writing. Storytelling, attention to organization, solid work
habits: these are its tools. Kumar's own voice is present in his
essays about the writing process and in his perceptive and witty
observations on the academic world. A writing manual as well as a
manifesto, Every Day I Write the Book will interest and guide
aspiring writers everywhere.
