In \u003ci\u003ePainted Paragraphs,\u003c\/i\u003e he did the same for the best descriptive passages ever written. Now, in \u003ci\u003eInvented Voices,\u003c\/i\u003e Newlove shares with us his choices for the most convincing, the most entertaining, the most memorable pieces of dialogue ever to hit the page--from novels, short stories, movie scripts, and plays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong Newlove's favorites are exchanges from novels as diverse as Jane Austen's \u003ci\u003ePride Prejudice \u003c\/i\u003eand Terry McMillan's \u003ci\u003eDisappearing Acts; \u003c\/i\u003edrama that ranges from Beckett's \u003ci\u003eWaiting for Godot\u003c\/i\u003e to Chekhov's \u003ci\u003eThe Seagull; \u003c\/i\u003emovie scripts that include \u003ci\u003eRaging Bull, On the Waterfront, Howards End, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Children of Paradise. \u003c\/i\u003eBut Newlove does more here than just catalog great dialogue.
