Maps of the Imagination: The Writer as Cartographer by Peter Turchi

3.0

A decent metaphor pushed to the cusp of disintegration. Of central issue with the book, the theme is an organising principle to gather together an array of thoughts about writing, and not a coherent thesis that develops a conclusion. That isn't to say some of the insights contained within are not fascinating, many are, but the book lacks that interconnectedness and coherence that make the information easy to absorb. Information is not structured in a way that makes it accessible, which is a negative in my book, though if you like your writing meandering and with it's intent and purpose at times verging on cryptic, this may be for you.
