Synopsis
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 Carr' and ZZ Packer, are perfectly selected, and her thinking on these subjects is compelling--a pleasure for writers and readers alike.
