Rather than recount the many articles that I found very useful here, I’d prefer to concentrate on one aspect that they all seem to share. When turning to examples, each of the authors draws upon great works of fiction. Typically an essay will look at three examples, perhaps from Virginia Woolf or Cormac McCarthy or Herman Melville or E.M. Forster. I so appreciate that. These, and others, are the authors I’d want to emulate in my writing. And they are the authors whom these essayists as fiction writers seek to emulate, in a way. It lends a degree of seriousness to the essays, but no more so than I think is appropriate for the endeavour of novel writing. Well worth reading. Recommended. ( )
