This book contains 50 articles about various parts of fiction
and gives tips, etc..
I am glad that I read it after a completed a non-fiction
writing class in school. The book made
more sense to me because we went over similar literature terminologies in
class.
The author makes comments about different parts of fiction –
ending, weather, repetition, telling in different voices, implication, irony,
surrealism, imagining the future, title, ideas, interior monologue,
metafiction, beginning, etc…
It seems that the only thing I took away from this book is
that the beginning of a novel should draw us in and he mentions 3 books that I
feel I need to read: Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Radical Chic and The Turn of the
Screw.
