Review

"[Francine Prose]...masterfully meditates on how quality reading informs great writing....Prose's guide to reading and writing belongs on every writer's bookshelf alongside E.M. Forster's ASPECTS OF THE NOVEL." [starred review]

Publisher's note

An insider's report on how professionals read and write instructs aspiring writers on the methods employed by such literary figures as Kafka, Austen, and Dickens, in a resource that draws on key examples to demonstrate the essentials of good plot and character development. Reprint. 40,000 first printing.

Annotation

Francine Prose's thesis, that the craft of writing can be attained only through the art of reading, is simple yet never simplistic. In READING LIKE A WRITER Prose elegantly elucidates how studying skilled writers nurtures the skills of writing. Her examples, whether from Chekhov and Flaubert or John le CarrT and ZZ Packer, are perfectly selected, and her thinking on these subjects is compelling--a pleasure for writers and readers alike.
