First Graywolf Printing, 2007. 179pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Charles Baxter inaugurates The Art of, a new series on the craft of writing, with the wit and intelligence he brought to his celebrated book Burning Down the House: Essays on Fiction. [] Fiction writer and essayist Charles Baxter's THE ART OF SUBTEXT: BEYOND PLOT discusses and illustrates the hidden subtextual overtones and undertones in fictional works haunted by the unspoken, the suppressed, and the secreted. As Baxter notes in one essay, 'A novel is not a summary of its plot but a collection of instances, of luminous specific details that take us in the direction of the unsaid and unseen.' Using an array of examples from Melville and Dostoyevsky to contemporary writers Paula Fox, Edward P. Jones, and Lorrie Moore, Baxter explains how fiction writers create those visible and invisible details, how what is displayed evokes what is not displayed." [publisher copy] "Baxter is smart about all aspects of craft."--The Corresponder. "A wonderful new volume about writing that's also about reading and the ways we make meaning in our lives."--The Observer. Handy & pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
