Faulks On Fiction by Sebastian Faulks

An elegant, spirited meditation on the nature and pleasures of the novel that blends memoir, criticism and practical craft advice; through close readings of major writers and candid reflections on his own practice, the author shows how character, voice, plot, language and moral imagination combine to make fiction powerful, argues for the novel’s continuing capacity to illuminate human experience, and offers concrete lessons and inspiration for aspiring novelists.
