jazzy_daveRichard Russo "The Destiny Thief" (Allen & Unwin)
Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Nobody's Fool and That Old Cape Magic, reflects on the writing life in this collection of previously published essays.
From his discussion of how he managed to become a successful author when other more talented MFA students did not, to a look at humour and what we call funny (or not), to his musings on what authors may be missing by overlooking the omniscient narrative voice, Russo's essays are enlightening and entertaining reading and I recommend trying out this book.
