Title: Art of Creative Writing by Lajos Egri ISBN: 0-8065-0200-2 Publisher: Citadel Trade Pub. Date: June, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $12.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 5 (3 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Written by a Master of writing about the human condition
Comment: Lajos Egri knows people and what motivates them. He could have made a wonderful psychologist (aren't all good writers therapists to a degree?) and this book will give you wonderful insites into what motivates people and what people like to read about. This is one of the best books on creative writing I've ever read. It doesn't teach about grammer or sentence structure, just about people and stories. You will learn more about how to generate story ideas in this little book then in a whole library of lesser books.
Rating: 5
Summary: Seemingly simple, but hits on the truth
Comment: It's sad that Lajos Egri's books don't seem to be in print any more. I've read two so far - this one and Art of Dramatic Writing. Although the author seems to be mostly inclined towards plays, don't let that stop you from devouring this book. It was absolutely invaluable in teaching me how to motivate my characters. Although a lot of the things he says seem self-evident upon reflection, seeing them in print drives them home all the more. It helped me figure out why my stories stalled and didn't seem to go anywhere.

Summary: Reflection
