The Spectator Best Book of the Year and a charming, eloquent love letter to the stories we adore
Klappentext zu „How to Write Like Tolstoy “
A Spectator Best Book of the Year'This book is a wry, critical friend to both writer and reader. It is filled with cogent examples and provoking statements. You will agree or quarrel with each page, and be a sharper writer and reader by the end.' Hilary Mantel
'There are three rules for writing a novel,' Somerset Maugham once said. 'Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.'
So how to bring characters to life, find a voice, kill your darlings, avoid plagiarism (or choose not to), or run that most challenging of literary gauntlets-writing a good sex scene?
Veteran editor and author Richard Cohen takes us on a fascinating excursion into the lives and minds of our greatest writers-from Balzac and Eliot to Woolf and Nabokov, through to Zadie Smith and Stephen King, with a few mischievous detours to Tolstoy along the way. In a glittering tour d'horizon, he lays bare their tricks, motivations, techniques, obsessions and flaws.
