Le Guin lays out ten chapters that address the most fundamental components of narrative, from the sound of language to sentence construction to point of view. Each chapter combines illustrative examples from the global canon with Le Guin's own witty commentary and an exercise that the writer can do solo or in a group. She also offers a comprehensive guide to working in writing groups, both actual and online."--Publisher's website UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1606/2015506839-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1606/2015506839-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1606/2015506839-s.html ER -
