Specifications
Ursula K. Le Guin was not only one of the most important American writers of the twentieth century but also an exceptional teacher of the art of writing. In this handbook, she shares with eloquence, precision, and generosity what she has gained throughout her literary life. With practical exercises, thoughtful comments, and specific examples, she examines rhythm, voice, point of view, structure, and economy of language — all those "invisible" tools that make a text breathe and navigate smoothly. Far from success recipes and easy formulas, Le Guin proposes discipline, attention to language, and listening to the narrative.
A compass book for new and experienced writers, but also for every reader who wants to understand the art of storytelling from within.
“Ursula K. Le Guin is the best that American letters have to offer.” – Slate
“Le Guin is a writer of high intelligence, deeply spiritual and masterful in her storytelling, with the humor and power of Mark Twain. She writes for everyone, from the intellectuals of the New Yorker to the most challenging audience, children. Whatever genre she tackles, she takes it a step further.” – Boston Globe
