Overview of Letters to a Young Writer Book

I hope there is something here for any young writer or any older writer, for that matter who happens to be looking for a teacher to come along, a teacher who, in the end, can really teach nothing at all but fire. From the critically acclaimed Colum McCann, author of the National Book Award winner Let the Great World Spin, comes a paean to the power of language and a direct address to the artistic, professional and philosophical concerns that challenge and sometimes torment an author. Comprising fifty-two short prose pieces, Letters to a Young Writer ranges from practical matters of authorship, such as finding an agent, the pros and cons of creative writing degrees and handling bad reviews, through to the more joyous and celebratory, as McCann elucidates the pleasures to be found in truthful writing, for: the best writing makes us glad that we are however briefly alive. Emphatic and empathetic, pragmatic and profound, this is an essential companion to any author s journey and a deeply personal work from one of our greatest literary voices.
