Writers on Writing: Collected Essays from The New York Times
Darnton, John
Writers on Writing: Collected Essays from The New York Times - New York Times Books, 2001 - 268
Today's most celebrated writers explore literature and literary life in an inspirational collection of original essays.
By turns poignant, hilarious, and practical, Writers on Writing brings together more than forty of contemporary literature's finest voices.
Pieces range from reflections on the daily craft of writing to the intersection of art's and life's consequential moments. Authors discuss what impels them to write: creating a sense of control in a turbulent universe; bearing witness to events that would otherwise be lost in history or within the writer's soul; and recapturing a fragment of time. Others praise mentors and lessons, whether from the classroom, daily circumstances, or the pages of a favorite writer. For anyone interested in the art and rewards of writing, Writers on Writing offers an uncommon and revealing view of a writer's world.
