- Summary
- What makes a story a story? What is style? What's the connection between realism and real life?

Ranging widely--from Homer to David Foster Wallace, from What Maisie Knew to Make Way for Ducklings--Wood takes the reader through the basic elements of the art, step by step.--From publisher description
