This book is full of insights and memorable images, such as that of a lonely guy dancing on a Florida beach at Christmas. These stories are to read and to savor.”\u003cp\u003e--Lee Smith, Author of The Last Girls: A Novel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the Introduction:“Once class members had made their choices of what life writing mode they wished to commit to, they worked amazingly well…As they were each writing something different, there were, once we got past the warm-up writing exercises, no required word lengths for each week’s draftings. It seemed that the dynamic of the class itself inspired serious, and sustained work…The classic question debated among writing teachers has always been, “Can writing be taught? Or is it ‘caught’?” I incline more to the “It’s caught” school, but in Huntington we had writing fever in the air, and if class members caught writing from anybody, they caught it from each other.” --John Patrick Grace, Editor\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Publishers Place, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47023847211248,"sku":"9780967605166","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780967605166_p0.jpg?v=1763875671","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780967605166","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
