 | The Book of Other People
Release Date: January 2, 2008A stellar host of writers explore the cornerstone of fiction writing: character The Book of Other People is about character. Twenty-five or so outstanding writers have been asked by Zadie Smith to make up a fictional character. By any measure, creating character is at the heart of the fictional enterprise, and this book concentrates on writers who share a talent for making something recognizably human out of words (and, in the case of the graphic novelists, pictures). But the purpose of the book is variety: straight "realism"-if such a thing exists-is not the poi...

Critics have examined how novelists borrow fro...
|  | The Conte du Graal Cycle: Chr
Publication Date: January 19, 2012| ISBN-10: 1843842858 | ISBN-13: 978-1843842859Chrétien de Troyes's late twelfth-century Conte du Graal has inspired writers and scholars from the moment of its composition to the present day.
