Description
Dear Mister Essay Writer Guy,
I have a hot crush on the em dash. What does my need to stuffâwhile simultaneously fracturingâmy sentencesâwith the meandering, the explanatory, the discursive, the perhaps not-entirely-necessaryâsay about me?
âCheryl Strayed
Have you ever wished there were an advice columnist for writers, but one who didnât take things so damned seriously? This unique writing guide pairs questions sent in by top contemporary essayists with hilariously witty answers and essays from acclaimed author Dinty W. Moore. Phillip Lopate asks for advice on writing about your ex without sounding like an ass, Julianna Baggott worries that to be a great writer you must drink like a fish, and Roxane Gay asks whether itâs kosher to write about writing.
Taking advantage of all the tools available to todayâs personal essayistâegregious puns, embarrassing anecdotes, and cocktail napkinsâProfessor Moore answers these questions, and more, demystifying the world of nonfiction once and for all. With a tip of the hat to historyâs most infamous essayâMontaigneâs âOf Cannibalsââthis book provides rollicking relief for writers in distress.
