On Becoming a Novelist by John Gardner
4.0
informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

Timeless and dated in equal measure. Gardner's a snob with a heart of gold and a wry delight to read. As soon as he started making finicky distinctions between learning to write "well" and merely "well enough to be published", and taking random swings at Harlan Ellison, I knew I'd enjoy his hot takes regardless of whether I agreed.
