Para Ler Como Um Escritor by Francine Prose

A Guide for People Who Love Books and for Those Who Want to Write Them

An accessible guide that teaches readers to read closely and learn the craft of writing by paying attention to word choice, sentence rhythms, details, and narrative strategies; it shows how careful reading of great literature reveals techniques—dialogue, description, point of view, characterization—that writers can study and adapt. Through close analyses of passages, practical exercises, and lively commentary, it demonstrates how attention to language and structure sharpens a writer’s ear and eye and fosters better, more deliberate storytelling.
