The Sound on the Page: Great Writers Talk about Style and Voice in Writing Tapa blanda - 2005

de Ben Yagoda

Yagoda offers an in-depth look at the importance of a writer's individual style or "voice," based on interviews with more than 40 outstanding contemporary writers. He points out, for instance, that Elmore Leonard and Toni Morrison avoid adverbs, while Christopher Hitchens uses them.


Resumen

In writing, style matters. Our favorite writers often entertain, move, and inspire us less by what they say than by how they say it. In The Sound on the Page, acclaimed author, teacher, and critic Ben Yagoda offers practical and incisive help for writers on developing and discovering their own style and voice. This wonderfully rich and readable book features interviews with more than 40 of our most important authors discussing their literary style, including:Dave BarryHarold BloomSupreme Court Justice Stephen BreyerBill BrysonMichael ChabonAndrei CodrescuJunot DiazAdam GopnikJamaica KincaidMichael KinsleyElmore LeonardElizabeth McCracken Susan OrleanCynthia OzickAnna QuindlenJonathan RabanDavid ThomsonTobias Wolff

We can turn to etymology to understand the origin of the meaning of style-but only at the risk of being seriously misled.
