Inhaltsangabe
What makes good writing good? Can anyone learn to write well? How does language work? The Common Writer explores questions such as these, suggesting ways in which writers can best express what they want to say and communicate it to their readers. Invoking the experience (and words) of many famous writers, it acknowledges the complexities of meaning, and examines the gap between words and the things they refer to. From that gap emerge ideas about metaphor, irony, and subjectivity - things that the capable writer learns to control and put to work. The book clarifies vexed issues like correctness, ambiguity and point of view and anlayses the writing process in the light of the fascinating story of how our language and alphabet have developed. The final chapter summarizes some of the latest developments in the teaching of writing. An appendix of practical exercises is included.
