(Don't) stop me if you've heard this before : and other essays on writing fiction
Turchi, Peter, 1960-2023
Books
Peter Turchi combines personal narrative and close reading of a wide range of stories and novels to reveal how writers create the fiction that matters to us. He leads readers and writers to an understanding of how the intricate mechanics of storytelling - including shifts in characters' authority, the subtle manipulation of images, careful attention to point of view, the strategic release of information, and even digressing from the (apparent) story - can create powerful effects.
