It's All About the Story: Composing a Life in Books

"COMPOSING A LIFE IN BOOKS" SPEAKS TO EVERYONE WHO
APPRECIATES MYSTERY, DETECTIVE AND ROMANCE STORIES.
IN A SERIES OF TWENTY TWO BRIEF ESSAYS THE AUTHOR
REFLECTS ON THESE GENRES-WHY THEY MATTER, WHERE THEY
COME FROM, HOW THEY WORK, WHEN THEY HELP, AND WHAT
MAKES THEM RELEVANT TO MODERN LIFE. THIS BOOK IS A
TRIBUTE TO THE ABILITY OF OLD FASHIONED STORYTELLING
TO SHARPEN OUR AWARENESS OF THE HUMAN CONDITION AND
LESSONS THAT ARE FOUND NOT ONLY IN "SERIOUS LITERATURE"
BUT POPULAR FICTION AS WELL.
