The Writer's Reader

Resumen del libro

The Writers Reader is an anthology of essays on the art and life of writing by major writers of the past and present, offering a wealth of insights into the varied ways in which writers approach writing. This collection includes essays from celebrated writers such as Flannery O'Connor, Julia Alvarez, Jorge Luis Borges, Joan Didion, Lydia Davis, David Foster Wallace and Zadie Smith, among many others.
"A wondrous compendium of essays both well loved and new to me, each of which feels as if it were written in the middle of the night to be tossed in a bottle for another writer not yet born. The words of the improbable fortune papers read: It will be impossible. Keep going. Take heart."
