Inhaltsangabe

Beyond the First DraftThrough anecdotes about other writers methods and habits (as well as his own) and close readings of literature from Aristotle to Zola, the essays in this collection offer suggestions about things to do, things to think about when your writing has got you lost in the woods. In Dogma and Anti-dogma Casey sets out the tried-and-true advice and then comments on when to apply it and when to ignore it. In What's Funny he considers the range of comedy from pratfalls to elegant wit. In In Other Words he discusses translations and the surprising effects that translating can have on one s native language. In Mentors he pays tribute to those who have guided him and other writers. Throughout the fourteen essays there are notes on voice, point of view, structure, and other crucial elements. This book is an invaluable resource for aspiring writers and a revitalizing companion for seasoned ones.
