Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In writing, style matters. Our favorite writers often entertain, move, and inspire us less by what they say than by how they say it.

This wonderfully rich and readable book features interviews with more than 40 of our most important authors discussing their literary style, including: Dave BarryHarold BloomSupreme Court Justice Stephen BreyerBill BrysonMichael ChabonAndrei CodrescuJunot DiazAdam GopnikJamaica KincaidMichael KinsleyElmore LeonardElizabeth McCracken Susan OrleanCynthia OzickAnna QuindlenJonathan RabanDavid ThomsonTobias Wolff Yagoda offers an in-depth look at the importance of a writer's individual style or "voice," based on interviews with more than 40 outstanding contemporary writers. He points out, for instance, that Elmore Leonard and Toni Morrison avoid adverbs, while Christopher Hitchens uses them.
