Writing Life Stories
Book (italiano):
Writing in the informal style of a trusted friend, published novelist and essayist Roorbach (College of the Holy Cross) offers innovative techniques that will trigger ideas for all writers of creative nonfiction. In this second edition, Roorbach brings co-author Kristen Keckler (former editor-in-chief of North Texas Review) onboard to add a woman's point of view, a scholar's clear eye, and a younger person's knowledge of the latest technology available to help writers. This edition features new exercises in every chapter, enhanced explanations of difficult issues like the use of metaphor, and up-to-date information on publishing. There are examples from newer writers and more recent titles, plus a more sophisticated look at the Internet. The extensive 20-page reading list compiles books in categories of memoir, personal essay and book-length essay, journals and letters and diaries, nature and place, travel writing, new journalism and literary journalism, and anthologies. The reading list is updated with many new books. The book is appropriate for the classroom or for independent study. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
