Have Pity on the Reader: How to Write Well
Пожалейте читателя: Как писать хорошо
Kurt Vonnegut is an American satirical writer who is rightfully called one of the most outstanding authors of the twentieth century. He managed to create unique works and express his own thoughts in a unique way through the voices of his characters. And yes, Kurt Vonnegut knew how to write well!
The book "Pity the Reader. How to Write Well" is both a biography of Kurt Vonnegut and a collection of advice for authors. You will learn why it is important to write simply, how to find your topic, how to overcome fear and what is actually the main driving force of creativity.
The book was written by Kurt Vonnegut's former student Susan McConnell, who studied with him at the Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa and was his close friend. This biography-guide literally absorbed all the advice that Vonnegut gave to writers, teachers and readers. Everyone who is somehow connected with writing is highly recommended to read it.
