With increased compression, every word, every sentence matters more. A writer must learn how to form narratives around caesuras and crevices instead of strings of connections, to move a story through the symbolic weight of images, to master the power of suggestion.With elegant prose, deep readings of other writers, and scaffolded writing exercises, The Art of Brevity takes the reader on a lyrical exploration of compact storytelling, guiding readers to heighten their awareness of not only what appears on the page but also what doesnt.Book specifications:Author: Grant FaulknerCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2023Publishing Month: 2Pages: 184Language: EnglishPublisher: University of New Mexico PressWeight: 272 gDimensions: 20 x 210 x 140
