Award-winning novelist Samuel R. Delany has written a book for
creative writers to place alongside E. M. Forster's Aspects of the
Novel and Lajos Egri's Art of Dramatic Writing. Taking up specifics
(When do flashbacks work, and when should you avoid them? How do
you make characters both vivid and sympathetic?) and generalities
(How are novels structured? How do writers establish serious
literary reputations today?), Delany also examines the condition of
the contemporary creative writer and how it differs from that of
the writer in the years of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and the high
Modernists. Like a private writing tutorial, About Writing treats
each topic with clarity and insight. Here is an indispensable
companion for serious writers everywhere.
