The Art of Fiction: Notes on Craft for Young Writers by John Gardner

4.0

No book on craft is perfect, but this one is much better than most I've read in recent memory. Like any book (any at all, but particularly ones on craft and the theory of how to do things) it isn't right for everyone. This isn't about commercialism; it's about Art. A lot of lovely, nerdy thoughts on what fiction is and does and the art of it seeps in through the early chapters. Hence the title.
