In her entertaining and edifying New York Times bestseller, acclaimed author Francine Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and the tricks of the masters and discover why their work has endured. Written with passion, humor, and wisdom, Reading Like a Writer will inspire readers to return to literature with a fresh eye and an eager heart—to take pleasure in the long and magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; to look to John Le Carré for a lesson in how to advance plot through dialogue, and to Flannery O'Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail. And, most importantly, she cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which all literature is crafted.

InspirerendeI loved it! I enjoyed the audio book and I have to buy this book too. It is certainly one to read again. I think the book includes so much about mindset of healthy writers. To appreciate the craft, not breaking it down to dos and donts. It is humbly written and the examples are great. The author goes deeper into the text than what I usually see in how to write books. It's a book for reflection of a healthy kind! Thank you!!
