The pieces range from taciturn, hilarious advice for aspiring writers to thoughtful, soul-wrenching reflections on writing in the midst of national tragedy. William Kennedy talks about the intersecting lives of real and imagined Albany politics; Susan Isaacs reveals her nostalgia for a long-retired protagonist; and Elmore Leonard offers pithy rules for letting the writing, and not the writer, take charge. With contributions from Diane Ackerman, Margaret Atwood, Frank Conroy, Mary Karr, Patrick McGrath, Arthur Miller, Amy Tan, and Edmund White, Writers on Writing, Volume II offers an uncommon and revealing view of the writer's world. 192613 2003 Writers on Writing, Volume II: More Collected Essays from The New York Times (Writers on Writing (Times Books Paperback)) total:25|5:1|4:13|3:10|2:1|1:0| 25 89 50 2 4 0 false false Fri Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 06:46:42 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 06:47:00 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 27 12:56:55 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 13:16:18 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 01 15:57:42 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 15:57:42 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 30 02:41:34 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 02:41:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 29 13:32:54 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 13:32:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 17 06:58:30 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 06:58:30 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jun 11 16:08:26 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 16:08:26 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jun 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 18:51:21 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 07:55:26 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun May 31 18:04:03 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 18:04:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 21 20:14:07 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 20:14:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 11 10:03:55 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 10:03:55 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue May 05 13:12:04 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 13:12:04 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat May 02 23:18:32 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 23:18:32 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Apr 13 20:30:25 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 20:30:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 12 16:58:02 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 12 16:58:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 04 14:54:24 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 04 14:54:51 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 12 21:50:03 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 21:50:03 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 10 05:28:10 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 05:57:48 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jan 27 20:24:21 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 20:24:21 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 08 16:07:23 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 16:07:30 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=199109
