By reading the work of their predecessors and contemporaries, says author and teacher Prose. Prose invites you on a guided tour of the tools and the tricks of the masters. She reads the very best writers and discovers why their work has endured. She takes pleasure in the magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; she is moved by the brilliant characterization in George Eliot's Middlemarch. She looks to John Le Carre for how to advance plot through dialogue, to Flannery O'Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail, and to James Joyce and Katherine Mansfield for clever examples of how to employ gesture to create character. She cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which literature is crafted. 000694552 60010 $$aProse, Francine,$$d1947-$$xBooks and reading. 000694552 650_0 $$aEnglish language$$xRhetoric. 000694552 650_0 $$aCreative writing. 000694552 650_0 $$aAuthors$$xBooks and reading. 000694552 85200 $$bgen$$hPE1408$$i.P774$$i2006 000694552 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0910/2005058457-b.html 000694552 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0910/2005058457-d.html 000694552 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:694552$$pGLOBAL_SET 000694552 980__ $$aBIB 000694552 980__ $$aBOOK
