In this funny and perceptive collection, novelist and essayist
Robert Cohen shares his thoughts on the writing process and then
puts these prescriptions into practice-from how to rant effectively
as an essayist and novelist (The Piano has been Drinking), how to
achieve your own style, naming characters (and creating them), how
one manages one's own identity with being "a writer" in time and
space, to the use of reference and allusion in one's work. Cohen is
a deft weaver of allusion himself. In lieu of telling the reader
how to master the elements of writing fiction, he shows them
through the work of the writers who most influenced his own
development, including Roth, Ellison, Kafka, and Robinson. Rooted
in his own experiences, this collection of essays shows readers how
to use their influences and experiences to create bold, personal,
and individual work. While the first part of the book teaches
writing, the essays in the second part show how these elements come
together.
