Burn This Book: PEN Writers Speak Out on the Power of the Word by Toni Morrison

3.0

Many of these pieces are well-written (obviously, given the contributors), but most of them aren’t saying anything particularly revolutionary. John Updike’s “Why Write?” stands out to me because I found his style and command of language personally inspiring (I’ve previously disliked things I’ve read by Updike, but maybe it’s time to try again?)

If anything, this collection is a good place to start forming a reading list, as the contributors allude to other interesting-sounding authors.
