The Half-Known World: On Writing Fiction

A rigorous examination of the workings of fiction by the novelist Robert Boswell, â€œone of Americaâ€™s finest writersâ€ (Tom Perrotta)

Â Robert Boswell has been writing, reading, and teaching literature for more than twenty years. In this sparkling collection of essays, he brings this vast experience and a keen critical eye to bear on craft issues facing literary writers. Examples from masters such as Leo Tolstoy, Flannery Oâ€™Connor, and Alice Munro illustrate this engaging discussion of what makes great writing.
Â
At the same time, Boswell moves readers beyond the classroom, candidly sharing the experiences that have shaped his own writing life. A chance encounter in a hotel bar leads to a fascinating glimpse into his imaginative process. And through the story of a boyhood adventure, Boswell details how important it is for writers to give themselves over to what he calls the â€œhalf-known worldâ€ of fiction, where surprise and meaning converge.
