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