Now in paperback, today's most celebrated writers explore
literature and the literary life in an inspirational collection of
original essays.
By turns poignant, hilarious, and practical, "Writers on Writing"
brings together more than forty of contemporary literature's finest
voices.
Pieces range from reflections on the daily craft of writing to the
intersection of art's and life's consequential moments. Authors
discuss what impels them to write: creating a sense of control in a
turbulent universe; bearing witness to events that would otherwise
be lost in history or within the writer's soul; recapturing a
fragment of time. Others praise mentors and lessons, whether from
the classroom, daily circumstances, or the pages of a favorite
writer. For anyone interested in the art and rewards of writing,
"Writers on Writing" offers an uncommon and revealing view of a
writer's world.
Contributors include Russell Banks, Saul Bellow, E. L. Doctorow,
Richard Ford, Kent Haruf, Carl Hiaasen, Alice Hoffman, Jamaica
Kincaid, Barbara Kingsolver, Sue Miller, Walter Mosley, Joyce Carol
Oates, Annie Proulx, Carol Shields, Jane Smiley, Susan Sontag, John
Updike, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Alice Walker, and Elie Wiesel.
