Alone With All That Could Happen: Rethinking Conventional Wisdom about the Craft of Fiction by David Jauss
David Jauss is a wonderful author and a master teacher. This collection of essays, which were originally presented as lectures at Vermont College of Fine Arts, is both thought-provoking and useful.
For myself, the second essay, which addresses point of view, came at just the right moment as I muck my way through the work in progress that keeps slipping between my fingers.
Way more than a craft book, this intelligent collection will prod writers to push against the prescriptive rules that so much advice on writing falls into.
