The Western Lit Survival Kit

Resumen del libro

Newman, co-author of "How Not to Write a Novel," takes readers on a sidesplitting tour that makes it a blast to read the Western literary canon, from the ancient Greeks to the Modernists. Packed with pop culture gems, stories of literary hoaxes, ironic day jobs for authors, bad reviews of books that would later become classics, and more.
