Summary: A Rambling Look at 20th Century Fiction
Comment: Wright Morris, author of many novels (such as the brilliantly bleak Loneliness of The Long Distance Writer) and stories, gives young writers his thoughts on the writing of literary fiction. Some of the material is dated, dated to 1974 specifically, but Morris' insights seem honest and useful for contemplation. There is an amusing appendix, where Morris writes a page or two about twenty or so different great novels and their authors' styles: Stein's Three Lives, Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, etc.
Overall, it's a pleasant, simple book with little practical advice for beginning writers. For fans of Morris it's a must-have.
