   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) lycomayflower | May 31, 2016 |  Celebrating 30 years of Literary Arts, this Portland, Oregon based organization collects ten lectures by authors from the lecture series that the group presents every year. Chimamanda Adichie, Margaret Atwood, Russell Banks, E.L. Doctorow, Edward P. Jones, Ursula K. Le Guin, Marilynne Robinson, Wallace Stegner, Robert Stone, and Jeannette Winterson. Each writer brings a unique focus to their writing and thoughts on reading and life in these lectures. I love books about books, reading and writing, so when I first saw this collection of lectures from writers such as Margaret Atwood, Wallace Stegner, and Ursula K. Le Guin, I jumped at the chance to read it. Though the subtitle indicates that it's about "how and why we write," this isn't a how-to book. Instead, the subjects range all over the place from "Should art have morality?" to whether or not one has to research before writing historical fiction. Over the course of the lectures, each writer's process or thoughts on reading and storytelling is often illuminated, but generally not the main focus. Thought-provoking and essential reading for anyone who aspires to be a writer and for readers who like to get into an author's head. (  ) bell7 | Oct 2, 2014 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Since 1984, Literary Arts has welcomed many of the world's most renowned authors and storytellers to its stage for one of the country's largest lectures series. Sold-out crowds congregate at Portland's Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall to hear these writers' discuss their work and their thoughts on the trajectory of contemporary literature and culture. In celebration of Literary Arts' thirty-year anniversary, Tin House Books has collected highlights from the series in a single volume. Whether it's Wallace Stegner exploring how we use fiction to make sense of life or Ursula K. Le Guin on where ideas come from, Margaret Atwood on the need for complex female characters or Robert Stone on morality and truth in literature, Edward P. Jones on the role of imagination in historical novels or Marilynne Robinson on the nature of beauty, these essays illuminate not just the world of letters but the world at large.
