Annotated book in F. Scott Fitzgerald's College of One

I would have loved to experience his class in which he taught the very first at Harvard (Workshop 47) to such writers as Eugene O'Neill and Sidney Howard. This should be mandatory for all playwright and theater students as well as those with an affinity for storytelling. Superbly written and incisive, Baker answers all directly with clarity.

Still relevant for screenwriting today!

Lots and lots of excerpts from old plays, but the info is still useful to think about for today’s writer.
