A review by hannah_dillard
The Art of Fiction by Henry James

4.0

2/62: This book, by Henry James, might be the first of his that I have read. I enjoyed the way he wrote because not only was he entertaining, but he approached the subject with clarity and from different perspectives. James, in 1884, looked at the various methods of writing and the reasons for reading. James contends that people can write from imagination AND logic, creativity and experience, art and facts. James concludes: “try and catch the colour of life itself.”
